Word & World
"These studies demonstrate the depth and profundity of a master
exegete. . . Pastors [should] attend to this volume, especially
when preaching on Matthew." Graham Stanton
"Every teacher and student of Matthew's Gospel will want to read
these lively essays by one of the most distinguished biblical
scholars of our time. Ulrich Luz's multivolume commentary on
Matthew is one of the finest exegetical achievements of the
twentieth century. These essays distill much of the wisdom of that
great commentary, but they also develop further some of its most
stimulating insights. Luz's carefully nuanced and clearly expressed
discussions of central Matthean themes and topics will be
appreciated by a wide readership." Dale C. Allison Jr.
"Ulrich Luz is a master exegete. He is historically very well
informed, hermeneutically sophisticated, and theologically
interesting. I have no doubt that these essays, together with Luz's
commentary on Matthew, represent the future of Matthean studies."
Evangelical Quarterly
"This books shows very well both what Luz brings to his study of
Matthew, and what he receives from this gospel for his own faith
and service."
