The New Testament launches with an eyewitness account of the events of Jesus's life from Matthew, a former tax collector who experienced a radical conversion and became one of Jesus's own disciples.

John MacArthur works through the book passage by passage, so that the reader understands both the cultural setting and the implications of the coming of King Jesus. Matthew's particular concern is to present Jesus as the promised Messiah of Israel, and the study keeps that thread in view. Second edition, with questions for application and space for notes.
