You’ll begin by considering Matthew’s similarities with and differences from Mark, Luke, and John. Next, you will explore its historical background and fulfillment of the Hebrew Scriptures. You will then cover the full span of the Gospel of Matthew, from the infancy narrative to the Great Commission. Just as the triumphant Risen Christ commissioned His disciples, so too will He call you to follow Him “to the end of the age.”

Taking a closer look at passages like the Sermon on the Mount, you will unpack Matthew’s most unique features and compelling messages. With this newfound appreciation, you will find inspiration and guidance for the Christian life.

    emotional

    What an emotional and compelling presentation of the dramatic story of our Lord. Fr. Senior is a genius exegete and his tone conveys the great pathos of the Gospel story. This and his John lectures have greatly enhanced my understanding of those Gospels.
