This work is an abbreviated version of the monumental, three-volume Matthew, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary in the International Critical Commentary series. Retaining all the important features of the ICC volumes, this shorter commentary includes the new translation of the Gospel as well as a condensed introduction and a summary of the main exegetical points in a non-technical verse-by-verse commentary. For those who lack the linguistic and historical grounding, or the time, to deal with the ICC volume, this shorter volume is an accessible, affordable and practical alternative.
