Publisher's Synopsis
In this Friendly Guide to Matthew's Gospel, Dorothy A. Lee explores the meaning of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection in Matthew's Gospel. What emerges from this portrait is a Jesus whose birth is divine, whose ministry is acclaimed by God, and whose death and resurrection are the result of God's will. At the same time, Jesus is undeniably human and identifies with human suffering, with our temptations and with our distress. Jesus lives our life and dies our death, forging for us and our humanity a new path, and a new capacity to be who and what we were created to be. This book brings Matthew's Gospel to life, and is an excellent addition to the Friendly Guide series of books.
