Matthew, 2 Vols: Reformed Expository Commentary [REC]

Daniel M. Doriani (MDiv, PhD, Westminster Theological Seminary; STM, Yale Divinity School; Research Fellow, Yale University) is professor of theology and vice president at Covenant Theological Seminary. He is the founder and president of the Center for Faith & Work, St. Louis; a member of the Council of The Gospel Coalition; and a regular blogger. He was also a lead pastor for fifteen years.

The mature fruit that is produced through years of ministry in the academy and the church is found in this volume. Readers will surely harvest an abundance of exegetical, theological, and practical insights for Christian life and ministry. This commentary is a must read for all who study the Gospel of Matthew. -- Mark Futato

This is not a standard commentary. It is Matthew taught vividly as God's word. Doriani deploys the fruit of wide reading, lively imagination, pastoral savvy, deep learning, native wit, and personal commitment. He draws the reader into the history of Matthew's day. He draws out the teaching, commands, wisdom, and saving work of Jesus the Son of God. If more preaching were like this, Christian faith and life in congregations of all backgrounds and sizes would benefit greatly. And more of the lost would join the ranks of Jesus' disciples—the great goal of this great Gospel. -- Robert W. Yarbrough, associate professor of New Testament, New Testament department chair, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL

Oh the joy of reading a commentary with the roots of an informed mind and the wings of an enflamed heart! Dan Doriani’s two volume exposition of Matthew, in the REC series, is as refreshing as it is well researched. But that is just what I would expect from one of the finest pastor-scholars in the evangelical world. Dan’s keen understanding of the gospel of the kingdom and his great love for the gospel of God’s grace permeate this faithful and practical presentation of the person and work of Jesus according to Matthew. What a great gift for pastor and parishioner alike! -- Scotty Smith, Pastor for Preaching, Teaching and Worship, Christ Community Church
