by Irving L. Jensen (Author)
The Gospel of Matthew was written to the Jews in order to answer their questions regarding Jesus of Nazareth and His claim to be their Messiah. Perhaps you've asked some of the same questions: "Was he truly the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament?" "Why didn't He establish His promised kingdom on earth?" "Will this kingdom ever be a reality?" These subjects are thoroughly explored in this self-study guide, along with other topics, including the Sermon on the Mount and the Olivet Discourse.
The books in the Jensen Bible Self-Study Guide series are designed to provide you with a broader understanding of God's Word. Offering historical context and background, author information, charts, and other helps, these books will equip you with a comprehensive reference tool you'll return to often. Each study includes an opportunity for analysis, response, and further study in a response-oriented format. The thirty-nine books in this series are suitable for both personal and group use.
