- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2012This commentary is excellent! As is his usual style, Rabbi Kasdan writes in clear, easy-to-understand form, and shares a wealth of knowledge! In bringing in Jewish tradition, we have a better understanding of what those who were listening to Yeshua's teaching actually heard and understood. The first basic rule of understanding the Scriptures in context, context, context. This commentary certainly gives us that! I had begun to study Matthew in my personal Bible study, but when I purchased this commentary, I started over. There was so much I missed, just because I didn't know the Jewish tradition. Just the explanation of the lineage of Yeshua, and how and why it differs in Luke's account was an eye-opener. You won't be disappointed. This commentary is rich in history, culture, and revelation of Scripture.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012Rabbi Barney Kasdan has penned "Matthew Presents Yeshua, King Messiah" so that even a layman can benefit from the Rabbi's worthy scholarship and sharp insight. I agree with Rabbi Dr. D. Friedman's assessment: "This commentary places the book of Matthew back where it belongs...into its historic Jewish context. I certainly recommend it as part of everyone's reference library." Pastor Ray Bentley echoes my enthusiasm in his review: "This is exactly the book I have been waiting for. The more I have discovered the Jewish roots of the scriptures, the more my eyes have been opened, the clearer my understanding of the heart of God, and the greater my passion for going even deeper into the Bible." Well done, Rabbi Kasdan - Mazel Tov!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2014Only commentary of Matthew I have seen with a Jewish view point. This book takes into consideration the original people, setting, and culture of Jesus' times and keeps that in consideration while commenting on this Gospel. Rabbi Kasdan does a great job with showing the Kingship and Messianic fulfillment of Jesus/Yeshua through Matthew's writing. If you want to really study the Gospel in it's original context, get this book. You will get a deeper, more clear understanding of Jesus and His words.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020It gave useful insights into what Matthew was intending to communicate to his audience. I used it as a major source in a bible study on Matthew.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2019Awesome insight of Matthew through a Jewish lense. It deepened my understanding of Christ Jesus and the words He spoke.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018It is great to have a book that looks at Matthew from a Jewish perspective. As one who likes to do serious Bible study, I have found that by looking at the Bible from a Hebrew point of view, you get a better perspective of what was really meant. A great book.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018one of the very few commentaries that allows us to understand better and more about Jesus instead of promoting some kind of invented philosophy which is then called theology. If someone does not believe in God, his theology cannot be anything but philosophy. Our academies seem not to be very much aware of this fact. This commentary speaks about God and his doings and explains, so we understand better and it proofs even on a high academic level, one can understand God.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2015I opened this incredible book to Chapter 28. Why not start at the highest point, right? And wow, was I blown away. Who can count how many times I have read that chapter, yet I still got tears and goose-bumps! Plus, the Great Commission in the clearest terms, through the eyes and words of someone who really understands the language and culture into which it was spoken. If you can only read one commentary this year, let it be this one!
If my comments on Chapter 28 do not catch your attention, then perhaps the brilliant discussion of Matthew's (and Luke's) genealogies with a fabulous explanation of the apparent differences, will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and educative Messianic Jewish Resource for the New Millennium
‘Mathew: Presents Yeshua, King Messiah’ by Rabbi Barney Kasdan is an insightful and engaging Messianic Commentary on the Good News according to Mathew that deepens the understanding of the Account of Mathew of Yeshua the Messiah. The book resonates with my own Messianic Jewish Journey. I definitely recommend ‘Mathew: Presents Yeshua, King Messiah’ by Rabbi Barney Kasdan as a very educative Messianic Jewish Resource for the worldwide Messianic Jewish movement of the new millennium and beyond.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gut
Sehr interessanter Kommentar zum Matthäusevnagelium aus messianischer Sicht. Erklärt gut den Aufbau des Evangeliums und die Zusammenhänge. Außerdem werden die Passagen mit Hilfe von Auszügen aus dem Talmud und weiterer jüdischer Literatur verdeutlicht. Auf jeden Fall lesenswert!!
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2014
5.0 out of 5 stars remarkable
A really excellent eye opener and in depth look and meaning within the book of Matthew. It reveals further the Jewishness of the Gospel and the fact that Jesus was not a white blue -eyed Caucasian. Beautiful book; every page is a revelation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
This is a very good commentary. A must for the thoughtful student.
- S. HolmesReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2015
3.0 out of 5 stars the (Jewish) roots do not go deep.
what i liked most about this commentary was its almost conversational style. what I disliked most about it was its conversational style. In some regards it is quite simplistic. I would like to see lots more footnoting and referencing. Strangely passages I expected to see a large commentary for for example the sermon on the mount are quickly moved over and did not go into great depth.
As an introduction to Matthew I am sure it is fine, but I would encourage people to purchase by such as Brad Young's Meet the Rabbis, Jesus the Jewish Theologian and his cracking work on the parables coupled with Sanders' book Jesus and Judaism.
If this commentary could adopt some of this material it would be absolutely first rate.
