The Gospel of Matthew is perhaps the most important single document of the New Testament, for in it we have the fullest and most systematic account of the birth, life, teaching, death and resurrection of the founder of Christianity, Jesus. Michael Green shows how this very Jewish Gospel portrays the power and purpose of Jesus' life and work, which was to bring light to all the nations. We need Matthew's emphasis on God's revelation, old and new, its teaching on the life of discipleship and the university of the good news.
