The Best Commentaries on Matthew

Glover, Richard – A Teacher’s Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew  Ref  Buy  (Sunday School Union, 1889)  338 pp.

See the review by Rev. Nick Batzig of this work, with an excerpt from it.

“A reprint of an old (1889) conservative treatment.  Devotional and practical.  Contains some good expository ideas for preachers…” – Cyril J. Barber

Robertson, A.T. – Commentary on Matthew  in The Bible for Home & School  (1911)

Robertson was a reformed, Southern baptist.

“An exposition by an able exegete.” – Cyril J. Barber

.

Intermediate

Puritan

Dickson, David – Matthew  Buy  (1651)  394 pp.

Dickson (c.1583–1663) was a Scottish covenanter.  This has been reprinted by Banner of Truth in their Geneva Commentary Series.

*** – ‘A perfect gem.  The work is, to men of our school, more suggestive of sermons than almost any other we have met with.’ – Spurgeon

.

1800’s

Alexander, J.A. – The Gospel According to St. Matthew  on chs. 1-16, outlines are given of the remaining chapters

Alexander (1809-60) was a presbyterian, a justly renowned old Princeton scholar, a linguist, an eloquent preacher and a first-rate exegete.

***  “Dr. Alexander’s last work.  He died before it was quite finished.  It is complete to chapter 14.  Its value is great.”

Broadus, John – Commentary on Matthew

Broadus (1827–1895) was an American, Southern, Baptist.  This is one of the best commentaries on Matthew.  He was an Amyrauldian.

“A singularly helpful exposition based upon careful exegesis and containing practical applications of the text which will be of help to preachers.  Amillennial.” – Cyril J. Barber

Morison, James – A Practical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew  (1870)  700 pp.

Morrison was initially a Scottish, United Secession minister, though gradually became more unorthodox  with his years.  The label ‘Morisonianism’ became applied to his thought and followers.  His exegetical works, though, on Matthew and Mark are valuable.

*** – “We differ greatly in doctrinal views from Dr. Morison, but we set a great price upon his Matthew and Mark, which deserve the utmost praise.” – Spurgeon

“A practical and devotional phrase-by-phrase commentary.  In many instances, provides helpful comments on textual problems.  Although the interpretation of Greek nuances is not always accurate this work should be purchased if found.” – Cyril J. Barber

Thomas, David – The Genius of the Gospel, a Homiletical Commentary on the Gospel of St. Matthew  (1873)  580 pp.

Thomas was a minister in London and editor of ‘The Homilist’.

***  “We hardly know a more suggestive book.” – Spurgeon

“A homiletical and practical exposition which overlooks many difficulties in interpretation.” – Cyril J. Barber

.

1900’s

Ridderbos, Herman

Matthew  in Bible Student’s Commentary  Buy  (1950)  556 pp.

Ridderbos (1909-2007) was a reformed Dutch theologian and Biblical scholar.

This commentary series ‘represents the best in conservative, continental Reformed scholarship.  Professor Ridderbos’s commentary on Matthew is considered one of the finest in this series.’ – The book-flap

Matthew’s Witness to Jesus Christ: the King & the Kingdom  (NY: Association Press, 1958)  94 pp.  ToC

“A leading Reformed theologian from The Netherlands provides a brief survey of Matthew’s gospel.” – Cyril J. Barber


.

Commentaries on Matthew

1500’s

Tyndale, William – Marginal Notes on the First 21 Chapters of St. Matthew’s Gospel  d. 1536  10 pp.  The notes are sparse and not always important

Marlorat, Augustine – A Catholic & Ecclesiastical Exposition of the Holy Gospel after St. Mathew, Gathered out of All the Singular & Approved Divines (which the Lord has Given to his Church)  (1570)

Marlorat (1506-1562) was reformed.  His commentaries are particularly valuable as they are compendiums of block quotes from some of the best reformed divines of his day on the passages of that particular Biblical book.  See here for an excerpt from his commentary on John.

** – “Marlorate was an eminent French reformer, preacher and martyr.  His commentaries contain the cream of the older writers, and are in much esteem, but are very rare.  He wrote on the whole New Testament, but we have in English only the Gospels [2-3 John] and Jude [and Revelation 1 & 13].” – Spurgeon

.

1600’s

Ward, Richard – Theological Questions, Dogmatic Observations & Evangelical Essays upon the Gospel St. Matthew, wherein about Two Thousand Six Hundred & Fifty Necessary & Profitable Questions are Discussed; & five hundred & eighty special points of Doctrine Noted; and five hundred & fifty errors confuted, or objections answered: together with diverse arguments, whereby divers truths, & true tenets are confirmed  (1640)

Ward (1601-1684) was educated at Cambridge, England and St. Andrews, Scotland, and was a reformed minister in London.

**  “A huge mass of comment, in which are thousands of good things mostly set forth by way of question and answer.  Few could ever read it through; but to a wise minister it would be a mine of wealth.” – Spurgeon

Gell, Robert – Notes & Observations upon Matthew  in Gell’s Remains, or Several Select Scriptures of the New Testament Opened & Explained, wherein Jesus Christ, as Yesterday, Today & the Same Forever, is Illustrated in sundry pious and learned notes & observations thereupon…  (London, 1676)

Gell (1595-1665) was a reformed, Anglican chaplain and clergyman.  The DNB says: “…the ‘Remaines’ are especially valuable as a collection of most ingenious skeleton discourses.”

.

Simple & Practical

1800’s

Abbott, Lyman – The New Testament with Notes & Comments, Accompanied with Maps & Illustrations, vol. 1, Mathew & Mark  (1875)

**  “Intended for workers, and likely to be useful to them.” – Spurgeon

Clarke, George W. – Notes on the Gospel of Matthew, Explanatory & Practical  (1870)

**  “Good notes for teachers.  Well compiled.  A fit companion to… [his harmony on the Gospels].” – Spurgeon

Spurgeon, Charles – The Gospel of the Kingdom: a Popular Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew  (1893)  530 pp.

Spurgeon (1834–1892) was an influential Calvinist, baptist minister.

“…this devotional exposition contains fervent and practical admonitions based upon the text.” – Cyril J. Barber

.

1900’s

Erdman, Charles – The Gospel of Matthew: an Exposition  (1920)  225 pp.

Erdman was a conservative liberal at Old Princeton Seminary in the early-1900’s, being the leading antagonist to J. Gresham Machen, the leading founder of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

“A brief, conservative exposition which adequately explains the thematic development of the Gospel.” – Cyril J. Barber

Morgan, G. Campbell – The Gospel According to Matthew  (1929)  321 pp.  73 Sermons, given as originally preached

Morgan (1863–1945) was a reformed congregationalist minister and is often considered to be one of the 20th century’s best preachers.  He was the predecessor to D. Martyn Lloyd Jones at Westminster Chapel in London.  His commentaries are usually a series of his exegetical sermons.

“An able expository treatment with numerous practical observations.  Particularly helpful on the Sermon on the Mount.  Includes some novel ideas on the parables of chapter 25.” – Cyril J. Barber

Thomas, William H. Griffith – Outline Studies in the Gospel of Matthew: a Devotional Commentary  (Eerdmans, 1961)  470 pp.  ToC

“This work contains nearly 500 pages of homiletical and expository outlines.” – Cyril J. Barber

Criswell, Wallie – Expository Notes on the Gospel of Matthew  (Zondervan, 1970)  165 pp.  ToC

“Helpful devotional messages on Christ’s earthly life and ministry.” – Cyril J. Barber

.

Intermediate

1700’s

Beausobre, Isaac & L’Enfant, Jaques – A New Version of the Gospel According to St. Matthew with a Literal Commentary  (1790)

**  “The brief notes are purely literal or illustrative, and are remarkably pertinent.  The mass of the volume is taken up with an introduction to the New Testament.” – Spurgeon

.

1800’s

Godwin, John H. – The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, A New Translation with Brief Notes  (1863)

**  “Dr. Godwin is a painstaking elucidator of the Word, and his pain is an excellent one.  Students in college will value him.” – Spurgeon

Parker, Joseph – A Homiletic Analysis of the Gospel by Matthew  (1870)

**  “Dr. Parker is an able though somewhat—-.  But stop, he is a near neighbor of ours.” – Spurgeon

Schaff, Philip & Matthew Riddle – The Gospel of Matthew  in A Popular Commentary on the New Testament  (1879)

The commentary is good enough, but could be better: it lacks spiritual profundity and fervor.  Schaff (1819–1893), the famed Church historian and N.T. scholar, came from a German-Reformed background, though was also the lead proponent of the High-Church Mercersburg Theology.  Riddle (1836–1916) was of a Dutch Reformed background and had a similar professorial and literary career.

Watson, Richard – Exposition of Matthew & Mark  (1833)

Watson (1781–1833) was a British Methodist theologian, whose work, ‘Theological Institutes’ (1823) was “the first attempt to systematize John Wesley’s theology and, by extension, Methodist doctrine.” (Wikipedia)

**  “Arminian views crop up at every opportunity.  The notes are meant to elucidate difficulties in the text, and frequently do so.” – Spurgeon

.

1900’s

Anderson, Edward – The Gospel According to St. Matthew, with Introduction & Notes  in Hand-Books for Bible Classes, ed. Dods & Whyte  (1909)

Hendriksen, William – Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew  (Baker, 1973)  1,020 pp.  ToC

Hendriksen was reformed.

“A very capable geographical (rather than thematic) study.  Highlights the discourses of Christ… and follows an amillennial interpretation of chapters 24-25.  The work is enhanced by the author’s use of exegesis in his exposition, making this a most valuable contribution for preachers.” – Cyril J. Barber

Lenski, R.C. – Interpretation of St. Matthew’s Gospel  (Columbus, OH: Wartburg Press, 1932)  1,175 pp.  no ToC

“A thorough, strongly conservative Lutheran exposition.  Amillennial.” – Cyril J. Barber

Tasker, Randolph V.G. – The Gospel According to St. Matthew  in Tyndale New Testament Commentaries  (1961; Eerdmans, 1981)  275 pp.  ToC

“Provides some interesting historical details which illumine the text, but shows what happens when a conservative scholar is unduly influenced by higher critical theories.” – Cyril J. Barber

.

Advanced, Liberal

Bland, Miles – Annotations on the Gospel of St. Matthew, Designed for Use of Students at the University and Candidates for Holy Orders  (Cambridge, 1828)

Bland (1786-1867) was an English cleric and mathematician.

“A compilation from the best old authors.” – Howard Malcom

Carr, Arthur – The Gospel According to St. Matthew, with Maps, Notes & Introduction  in Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges  The commentary starts on p. 79

“Still of value for its theological and grammatical annotations.” – Cyril J. Barber

Plummer, Alfred – An Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew  (1910)  510 pp.  Reprinted by Baker in the Thornapple Commentary series

Plummer (1841–1926) was a Church of England clergyman, biblical, Oxford scholar and a liberal.

“A most helpful technical and critical commentary.  Plummer denies Matthew’s authorship and believes that there are inaccuracies in Scripture; yet he defends the virgin birth and the reality of miracles.  In spite of the weaknesses inherent in this volume, it is one of the best expository treatments of this Gospel.” – Cyril J. Barber


.

Jewish Background to Matthew

Lightfoot, John – A Commentary on Matthew from the Talmud & Hebraica  mid-1600’s

Lightfoot was a reformed divine and Hebraicist who was invited to the Westminster Assembly.  He mined the Jewish writings for anything and everything that may be of help in understanding the New Testament.  Here are his results.

This is the only work of its kind in English; the scholarly, more complete work (vol. 1, Mt; vol. 2, Mk-Jn) that has improved, in some ways, upon Lightfoot, done in the early 1900’s by H. Strack and P. Billerbeck, has still not been translated out of the German.

If one is interested in seeing the results of the use of the Jewish writings in relation to the gospel accounts, see Edersheim’s Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, who thoroughly makes use of them from his encyclopedic knowledge of the Jewish writings from his orthodox Jewish upbringing his life’s work as a scholar.

Anonymous – Incomplete Commentary on Matthew (Opus Imperfectum), 2 vols.  trans. James Kellerman  in Ancient Christian Texts  Pre 1, 2  Buy  (IVP Academic, 2010)  ToC 1, 2

This incomplete commentary was likely written in the early 400’s and was wrongly ascribed to John Chrysostom for centuries.  Certain statements of his suggest he may have been a mild Arian and/or Pelagian, and must have been steeped in the exegetical tradition of Origen.  The commentary covers Mt. 1:-8:14, 10:15-ch. 13, ch. 18-25.
