I am a pastor and a studious one. I use commentaries extensively to help me prepare carefully for my sermons. I have used other Matthew commentaries a lot. I really like Blomberg's, and even more so Carson's. I will continue to use both of them. But I have to say that (in agreement with Carson in his Commentary Survey), this commentary by R.T. France is absolutely superb. His writing is clear and utterly helpful. The quality of the scholarship is impressive. It is very helpful to the preacher. It is a pleasure to read. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. My first pick on Matthew.

User friendly, clearly written, helpfully explanatory of the text, themes within books. A true treasure. Highly recommended!

Simply a wonderful NT Theology. It is readable, even to those not very familiar with the discipline. And it stirs your passion for Christ, his Kingdom and God's plan. I love the emphasis on salvation history.
