Matthew [PDF ebook] 
A Shorter Commentary

This work is an abbreviated version of the monumental, three-volume »Matthew, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary» in the International Critical Commentary series (ICC). Davies and Allison»s magisterial work is considered to be the standard work on Matthew and is still a best-selling title. Retaining all the important features of the ICC volumes, this Shorter Commentary includes the new translation of the Gospel as well as a condensed introduction and a summary of the main exegetical points in a non-technical verse-by-verse commentary. For those who lack the linguistic and historical grounding, or the time, to deal with the ICC volume, this shorter volume is an accessible, affordable and practical alternative.
