Glossary

Tom Wright's own translation of the Gospel of Matthew is combined, section by section, with useful explanation and interpretation of the passage, as well as thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today.

A former teacher of New Testament studies at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and McGill, Tom Wright is among the most interesting and respected New Testament scholars currently at work. He is the author of many books, including The Challenge of Jesus, Twelve Months of Sundays: Reflections on Bible readings and, the first volumes in this series, Mark for Everyone and Luke for Everyone. Formerly Dean of Lichfield, he is currently Canon Theologian at Westminster Abbey and SPCK Research Fellow.

Tom Wright has completed a tremendous task: to provide comprehensive guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to furnish them with his own fresh translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable commentary with helpful background information. The format makes it appropriate also for daily study.

'Each book is written in Wright's familiar, accessible language and can be used for either individual or group study to enhance reader understanding of the Bible.' Life and Work 'This enterprise is probably the most exciting thing to have happened in Christian education for many years.' Expository Times
