<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This Catholic commentary on Matthew interprets Scripture from within the living tradition of the Church for pastoral ministers and lay readers alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This engaging commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is the fifth of seventeen volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS), which will cover the entire New Testament. This volume, like each in the series, relates Scripture to life, is faithfully Catholic, and is supplemented by features designed to help readers understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively.<br/><br/><b>Praise for the CCSS: <br/></b>"These commentaries are both exegetically sound and spiritually nourishing. They are indispensable tools for preaching, catechesis, evangelization, and other forms of pastoral ministry."--<b>Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM Cap</b>, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"In this exciting new commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, Curtis Mitch and Edward Sri do an outstanding job of fulfilling the biblical vision of Vatican II. For years I have wished for an up-to-date Catholic commentary on Matthew that would unite history and theology, Scripture and tradition, Old and New Testaments, Jewish roots and Christian faith. Now we have one! This extremely readable commentary should be on the shelf of any priest, deacon, seminarian, or layperson who wants to bring out 'treasures new and old' from the pages of the First Gospel."--<b>Brant Pitre</b>, Augustine Institute<br/><br/>"Is it possible to write a historically informed commentary on the Gospel of Matthew that does not position itself skeptically vis-à-vis the claims made in the narrative? Catholic scholars have for some time been hesitant to answer yes. In this volume, Curtis Mitch and Edward Sri invite us to meet the Jesus depicted by the evangelist Matthew--to meet him in his historical context and to meet him without fear that Matthew is leading us astray. The result is like meeting Jesus again for the first time: the Jesus whom we worship in the liturgy meets us in the Gospel as the living, breathing first-century Jew who is Emmanuel, God with us."--<b>Matthew Levering</b>, Mundelein Seminary<br/><br/><b>Praise for the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture<br/><br/></b>"An ideal tool for living our faith more deeply. This extraordinary resource combines superior scholarship and a vivid, accessible style that will serve the interested layperson and the serious scholar equally well. It should be on the shelf of every committed Catholic believer. I highly recommend it."--<b>Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap</b>, Archbishop of Denver<br/><br/>"This is a landmark achievement in theological interpretation of Scripture in and for the Church. Everything about it is inviting and edifying. It is a wonderful gift to the Catholic Church and a model for the rest of us. Highly recommended for all!"--<b>Michael J. Gorman</b>, St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore<br/><br/>For more information on the series, visit <b>www.CatholicScriptureCommentary.com</b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Curtis Mitch</b> (MA, Franciscan University) is associate editor of the <i>Ignatius Catholic Study Bible </i>and a writer in residence at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology in Steubenville, Ohio. <b>Edward Sri </b>(STD, Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome), is a founding leader with Curtis Martin of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students), where he serves as vice president of formation, and is a visiting professor of theology at the Augustine Institute.
