Bruner does the best job (with Matthew) that I've ever encountered. Feb 25, 2006
I won't give a detailed review; I suspect that's best left to those with more time and scholarly critiquing skills. What I will say is that I've read several Matthew commentaries and this one is by far the most helpful. Bruner has the ability to dive into 1st century Palestine, giving us the important details while not saddling the reader/preacher with a mountain of unnecessary information. Yet at the same time, he brings in important insights from our own day and time. Craig Keener's works on Matthew are in the same ballpark as this commentary, but this one swings for the fence instead of being stuck in the infield. Go St. Louis Cardinals!
The only drawback I see with this commentary is that it is so good, I had a difficult time not leaning too heavily on it. Some commentaries provide so-so assistance and access to the text. This one serves it up on a silver tray. I'd say "platter" but that would have negative implications.

Masterful!!! Nov 09, 2005
This is the best commentary on Matthew's Gospel out there. Frederick Dale Bruner has culled the best of tradtion ranging from Rabinical, Early Church Fathers, Reformation and even the Second Vatican Council. What you have here will leave you with a renewed appreciation for Scripture and even more a renewed sense of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ!

Excellent Balanced Exposition Nov 04, 2005
This commentary is definitely worth having for its balanced and thorough exposition. Bruner's objective treatment of human responsibility and the security of the believer as it relates to the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:21-25) is worth the price of the book alone. Bruner shows good strength in his synthesis throughout the book (ex., Matthew 18 summary).

This is my favorite Commentary Feb 28, 2005
Dr. Bruner- Thank you for this fine work. It take the best of so many commentaries- from Davies and Allison, Luz, Gundry and the classices from Chrysostrom, Jerome, Luther and Calvin. Your explosive prose and keen insight has blessed me and now my congregation with a fount of knowledge. I appreciate how Dr. Bruner wrestles exegitically, and theologically with the text. His work pays off. The only problem for the preacher is the temptation to lift the teaching material and claim as your own.
