This commentary is truly a "biblical theology" commentary, meaning that the author consistently interacts with the primary source, the text of Matthew's Gospel, itself and reasonably draws exegetical meanings and theological/practical implications out of it. Yet, at the same time, as interpreting the text, the author is informed and guided by early sources, such as Josephus, Philo, the DDS, the Mishnah, Tosefta, the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds, and the Targums as well as modern secondary sources. The author's advanced scholarship will give new lights and insights to those who strive to interpret the first Gospel. Especially, readers will greatly benefit from the "Bridge" sections that connect Matthew's texts with the OT and the rest of the NT. It is also an "evangelical" commentary, meaning that the author is devoted to the message of the gospel that Jesus Christ is the only hope for the dying world. My favorite section of this commentary is its interpretation of the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24). It gave me a new light to understand how Jesus's prophecies have been/will be fulfilled.
