Matthew Through Old Testament Eyes

David B. Capes (PhD, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the executive director of the Lanier Theological Library (Houston, TX).

“Capes is able to trace out many of the threads from Israel’s story in each section, revealing an intricate and beautiful cloth revealing the face of the Messiah.”

—Amy Peeler, Associate Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College

“Matthew Through Old Testament Eyes is a gem for all Bible readers. I wish I had this book when I was a local church pastor who preached regularly. David Capes not only provides keen insights into Matthew’s message, but also offers guidance for all interpreters—preachers, teachers, scholars, and other students of Scripture—to enhance their own exegetical work.”

—Dennis R. Edwards, Seminary Dean, North Park Theological Seminary

“David Capes shows how the Old Testament is the substructure and scaffolding for the Gospel of Matthew. Indeed, from the birth narratives, to the Sermon on the Mount, all the way through to the Great Commission, Capes carefully and convincingly shows how the entire story is suffused with the fulfilment of Scripture. An informative read and a necessary tool for teachers and preachers of Matthew’s Gospel.”
