Matthew's Gospel raises issues which are startlingly relevant to our contemporary world. The Lord's teaching, recorded in chapters 8-10 of that Gospel, is faithfully and painstakingly explained in this book. Dr Carson takes illustrative material from the realms of the media and politics and marries his perception of our world to a dynamic and scholary approach to Scripture. He handles delicate topics such as healing, the reality of hell and the nature of faith in the Christian life with warmth and heart-searching realism.
