(More customer reviews)Like Mary Healy's treatment of the Gospel of Mark in this series, Mitch and Sri's commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is exactly what the faithful need. The scholarship presented is first rate without being overly technical or arcane, and the prose is refreshingly lacking in the "hermeneutic of suspicion" that sometimes accompanies Catholic commentaries. In other words, the authors are appreciative of the work that's been done by exegetes and historians, but they wear their learning lightly and don't try to poke holes in the Scriptures. The text is faithful to the Magisterium and includes useful side bars on background topics. Many have asked how it compares to two other popular orthodox commentaries: the Navarre Bible and the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. The volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture present more of a narrative than Ignatius, and are less contemplative and more "technical" than Navarre. All three are wonderful in their approaches and complement one another. Highly recommended.

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.Praise for the CCSS:"These commentaries are both exegetically sound and spiritually nourishing. They are indispensable tools for preaching, catechesis, evangelization, and other forms of pastoral ministry."--Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM Cap, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
