   En alldeles utmärkt kommentar!

   Författaren kombinerar en övergripande förståelse genom att se texternas struktur och sammanhang med god detaljgenomgång av varje textavsnitt. Hans resonemang är mycket fruktbara för den som vill få en större förståelse för den aktuella texten. Han förfaller inte heller till detaljer som skulle kunna kännas alltför specialiserade. I sina resonemang bjuder han in läsaren till att förstå olika tolkningsalternativ och väljer den tolkning som passar bäst in i det aktuella textavsnittet, i Matteusevangeliet som helhet och i jämförelse med andra nytestamentliga böcker. Boken fördjupar förståelsen och ger alltså en bra helhetsbild av Matteusevangeliet.
