( ) I was looking for something that would simply take me through the Gospels of the New Testament, something without a fancy cover and a website full of Flash videos and glitz, something understated and thus retaining a sense of scholarly erudition. Tom Wright’s book is all of this and more. Written very simply and yet very profoundly, Matthew for Everyone really is Matthew for everyone. He writes so engagingly, so straightforwardly and so simply that you never find yourself wondering what he’s talking about or what you’re supposed to be getting from his writing. It’s very refreshing in an age where even material to help you study the Bible is subject to the same crass media-driven hype as any other segment of the publishing industry. This book comes in two volumes and, in each, Wright has broken Matthew’s Gospel down into short sequences that can easily be read in 15 minutes. Perfect for that meditative escape from the busy-ness of life. You don’t even need a Bible to read it because Wright has also written his own translation of the passage in focus. This is followed by a few pages of teaching including historical and cultural insights, references to other key biblical passages, some form of story to relate it to modern life and a challenge for further thought. This is an excellent, thorough and well-balanced study. I was very glad to find that he has in fact completed these studies for the entire New Testament. I’m already in Mark for Everyone. Revelation here I come! The beginning of Tom Wright's approachable yet magisterial commentary series on the New Testament. In the "For Everyone" series the Biblical text is broken down into sections; each section begins with Wright's translation of the text, some vignette or story intended to provide a means by which to discuss the text, an explanation of the text in its context in light of Second Temple Judaism and the Greco-Roman world, and then concluding with some possible points of application. These commentaries excel at providing a basic understanding of the text while drawing out some compelling connections and associations, and the commentary on Matthew 1-15 does not disappoint. Highly recommended both for the reader or student of the text as well as anyone who would teach Matthew 1-15 in a Bible class context. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Enlarged print edition now available! Tom Wright's eye-opening comments on the Gospel of Matthew and what it might mean for us are combined, passage-by-passage, with his fresh translation of the Bible text. Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the urgency and excitement of Matthew's Gospel in a way few writers have. Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
