The Gospel According to St. Matthew: A Text and Commentary for Students by Alexander Jones (1965) is a theological study guide for students and readers seeking a systematic understanding of the Gospel of Matthew. It presents the text of Matthew's Gospel along with an in-depth commentary that bridges the ancient context with modern understanding without being overly technical. The author emphasizes that Matthew's Gospel serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah for the Christian community of Jewish background. The structure of the Gospel is explained in five main discourses that reflect the Torah, presenting Jesus as the teacher who fulfills the law. The book also examines key sections such as the birth, ministry, sermons, parables, and passion and resurrection, focusing on theological significance, themes of the Kingdom of Heaven, the church, and the fulfillment of prophecy, while also explaining the use of sources such as the Gospel of Mark in Matthew's writing.
