Summary: Wonderful Commentary on Gospel of Matthew
Comment: This is a wonderful, expositional commentary on the text of the Gospel of Matthew. What sets this work apart from nearly everything else available is Morris' determination to exposit what Matthew has actually said and is trying to tell us, rather than to argue a new view on the whole Gospel, or interact with critical theories that most readers have never heard of (and many of which have either faded away or are in the process). This is a commentary every person in the church can access and appreciate. Morris wears his considerable learning lightly, so we get a lively interaction with the gospel itself, which cannot help but pay rich spiritual dividends for us all. Having used several available Evangelical commentaries, I am convinced that Morris is the best overall. It is not as scholarly as Carson, but it not as dry either. It is not as insightful as Blomberg in some places, but it is much fuller so that you really get feel for what Matthew is trying to say. I am probably biased since I am a fan of nearly all of Morris' work, but this is the first place I turn when preparing to preach or teach from Matthew.

Summary: A very useful explanation of Matthew's gospel
Comment: This is a very good commentary. Dr. Morris spends most of his time explaining the text as it has come to us. Understand that this is not a critical commentary. Morris makes this clear in the introduction. If you are looking for a technical or critical commentary on Matthew, try the New Interpreter's Bible volume one (Eugene Boring) or the three volume work by Davies and Allison (ICC).
Again, this is a good work, but it suffers from a completely pre-critical bias, as if Matthew received the entire book by dictation. I recommend it for those seeking only a literary reading, but there are better commentaries for deeper study.

Summary: An Excellent Devotional and Scholarly Work
Comment: Leon Morris, an Anglican Theologian, has written a number of works that are outstanding. This is one of them. I was in need of a substantive commentary on Matthew, and am pleased to now have one! Morris' intention is to understand the meaning of the text, and the theology of Matthew, rather than to debate text critical issues endlessly. This commentary is very thorough and would be an excellent resource for pastors in their preaching ministry, and those interested in devotional studies. The extensive footnotes and references to other works would meet the need of those interested in contemporary research on this important gospel. Much recommended!
