A Theology of Matthew's Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, "God with us," as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity's redemption. Matthew's Gospel establishes Jesus's identity as the heir to the promises of Israel's throne through King David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus's message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6).

This item is part of: Lenski New Testament: In Twenty Volumes. Pastors and students of the Bible who seek deep and detailed engagement with the text of the New Testament have long relied on R.C.H. Lenski's classic text now available again. Even though its historical-critical work has been surpassed, the strong narrative quality, accessibility, and "holy reverence for the Word of God" (Moody Monthly) of Lenski's work have allowed his commentary to continue as an excellent resource for serious study of the New Testament and sermon preparation.
The life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are documented in the first four books of the New Testament, known as the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these authors share the story of Jesus Christ in their own way. Some of the events are recorded in one, more than one, or all of the gospels. Likewise, some of the parts of a certain event are documented in one gospel, while other parts of the same event are documented in another gospel. None of the gospels, by themselves, give a complete picture. This book integrated the four gospels, in its entirety, to give the reader a complete picture. It compiled all the scriptures, integrated them together by event, and put them in a single narrative.
Keith Warrington's book paints a compelling picture of Jesus as miracle worker. It shows how miracles functioned as a strategy in his ministry, and explains why some miracles are recorded differently in different Gospels. In this magisterial study, Keith Warrington paints a rounded picture of Jesus as a miracle worker by exploring each of the miracles in the Gospels in their literary and historical setting. He demonstrates that, while the miracles are historically authentic, there are several reasons for their presence in the Gospels other than simply to identify Jesus as a miracle worker. They are also intended to function as vehicles of teaching: expressing aspects of the mission and person of Jesus, providing lessons for his would-be disciples and adding theological value for each Gospel's original audience.
