Matthew's Gospel was written to show that Jesus is the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. It is carefully arranged by subject matter as a clear explanation to the Jewish people, and to the world, of who Jesus is. Here you will meet Jesus the Great Teacher, the Storyteller, the Prophet the Atoning Sacrifice and much, much more. Charles Prices puts the Gospel into context and helps us to see Jesus through the eyes and ears of Matthew. - Publisher.
