Matthew Commentary

[Prufrock]

I'm looking for thoughts on the best, or good modern commentaries on Matthew. Some from a reformed perspective if you know of any good ones, but also not. Thorough, scholarly, critical, etc.

Thanks in advance for the input.

I REALLY like the William Hendriksen NT Commentary on Matthew.came out in '73.

I'd recommend David Turner's commentary from the Baker Exegetical Commentary of the New Testament (BECNT). I used it for a sermon on the Transfiguration and was thoroughly pleased with his treatment of the Greek text and his expansion into socio-rhetorical categories.

Also, I do not own, but have referred to a library copy of R.T. France's commentary in the New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT). France is a premier scholar in the synoptics and has just recently finished Mark in the aforementioned BECNT.

I hope this helps!

Take your pick: Carson (EBC), France (NICNT), Morris (Pillar), Turner (BECNT), Wilkins (NIVAC). More liberal, but outstanding (and expensive): Bruner, Davies-Allison (ICC)
