Keener also brings home the total impact ofMatthew's message, including its clear portrait of Jesus and its call for discipleship, both to theGospel's ancient readers and to believers today. Craig Keener is also the author of The Spirit in the Gospels and Acts: Divine Purity and Power, The Gospel of John, 2 Volumes, Revelation, NIV Application Commentary, and many others.
