DESCRIPTION

As the edition to the title shows, Craig Keener's The Gospel of Matthew is now a part of the widely successful "Socio-Rhetorical" series by Ben Witherington. With an added addendum called "Matthew and Greco-Roman Rhetoric" this latest addition keeps the same historical and social focus that so defined it at its initial publication. Now available in paper back, it remains firmly built on impeccable and exhaustive research that is combined with insightful analysis of the text and its meaning. This commentary will prove useful for years to come and is in many ways the current standard in Matthean commentary.
