Matthew in Hermeneia Commentary Series by Luz
Few have offered a more thorough commentary on the first gospel than Dr. Ulrich Luz. It is clearly a labor of love over many years. The layout of the Hermeneia series is outstanding, but the content of some of the early volumes on some books was frankly disappointing and less than helpful to the pastor and teacher. But Dr. Ulrich offers us a treasure of thoughtful exposition based on a careful study of the Greek text, the historical background, the relevant literature, the contribution of different traditions, and his special attention to the history of interpretation. While not agreeing with every assumption or conclusion of the author, the commentary does not disappoint. It will add real value to anyone undertaking a serious study of Matthew's gospel. The three volumes are expensive, but I judge them to be worth every penny. Davies and Allison in the ICC is similar in scope; Morris, France, and Blomberg provide a more condensed exegetical approach with the helpful application. Schnackenburg is another continental writer on Matthew worth reading in conjunction with Ulrich.Fundamental Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic
Dr. Andrew H. Bartelt is a professor emeritus of the biblical languages at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. He retired in 2020 after 42 years of professional service. Dr. Andrew Steinmann studies Hebrew, Aramaic languages, apocalyptic literature, and biblical studies. These two professors are biblical language scholars. Fundamental Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, Second Edition is a textbook and Biblical study resource for university and seminary students, pastors, and scholars alike. This is well written and approaches learning Hebrew a bit differently than other grammar textbooks. This textbook is outstanding in every way. The straightforward methodology combines the best elements of format and pedagogy. This makes it beneficial for both students and teachers. The format of the book is easy to understand and moves at a pace that is easy to grasp, unlike other beginners’ books. This book is designed for individuals who have a grasp of the basic tools and presuppositions. I received
