Matthew

De: Dr. Bill Creasy

Narrado por: Dr. Bill Creasy

Although Matthew may not be the first written Gospel, like Isaiah it is positioned first in its sequence of four Gospels. Opening with a 42-generation genealogy, Matthew reminds us of the linear nature of God’s plan, and Matthew forms a link—a swinging door—between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew is a Jew writing for a Jewish audience, and his Gospel provides our first perspective on the birth and public ministry of Jesus Christ. Join Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy as he leads us through this dazzling work.

Excellent Bible Study

Any additional comments?

I also posted this on Amazon.com.

Dr. Creasy covers each book verse-by-verse, providing context to the material by explaining other passages in the Bible that may relate to a passage under study, with descriptions of corresponding historical events and the geography and their relationship to the passage, as well as anecdotes from his travels or study. I find it extremely helpful to study the Bible in context with geography and history.

As explained in the opening chapter of Genesis, this study starts with Genesis in the Old Testament, then moves to Matthew in the New Testament, then Exodus and Leviticus in the Old Testament, then back to Mark in the New Testament, and so on. Dr. Creasy does this because 1) if covered in weekly segments, as done in his class, it would be in year 5 before he got to Matthew, and 2) to help show the relationship between Old Testament and New Testament.

This is the second in the Logos Bible Study series, preceded by Genesis and followed by Exodus.

I have been looking for a guideline online, but haven't been able to find one yet. If I find one, I will try to post the next book to be read in each book's review once I complete each book.

great

as with Bill Reese's other readings of the New Testament and Old Testament this is excellent and gives a better understanding of all the New Testament books

Matthew

I enjoy Dr. Creasy's Bible studies. They are insightful and engaging. I especially like being able to visualize where the events took place.
I have read biblical fiction and I can understand better the Gospel.

A Great Lecture Series!

This is another great lecture series from Dr. Bill Creasy. He is always incredibly insightful and engaging. He often supplements the material with personal stories which are relevant and interesting. He has taken several trips to Israel and the Middle East where he visits the locations depicted in the Bible and he shares those first hand accounts which enables him to take you back to that point in time that the scripture is talking about.

Great Performance!

Easy to listen to and finish! Helps bring out the fun in studying the Holy Bible!

Amazing

Loved every thing about Matthew. The last 3-4 hours… wow! Such an amazing God!

Read Mathew, then listen, it will come alive.

Dr. creasy makes the book of Mathew come alive, after considering: cultural, archeological and historical aspects, this audio will make more sense after reading the gospel of Mathew at least once.

Dr. creasy over sees the book of Matthew as a piece of literature letting his audience understand what the author of the Gospel is trying to say to his original audience, after considering: the sources, the intended audience and how the book it's broken down as an outline.

Some great moments in this audio book are: the sermon of the mount, the kingdom parables, the crucifixion and the resurrection, specially when Dr. Creasy mentions the meanin behind the sign on top of the cross that reads: Jesus king of the jews.

a negative side it's only when he mentions that he is running out of time and seems to rush through important aspects of the resurrection.

Overall a great listen Dr. Creasy remains non bias on doctrine therefore nothing to fear, I do recommend this audio to layman and even scholars will enjoy.

get comfortable and open your Bible

Any additional comments?

I've listened to a few of Dr Creasy's Bible studies now. They're all good. This one comforted me a great when I finally heard heard that he prays before and after each of his lessons. I don't know why most all of his lessons leave out his prayers. Anyway, knowing that he prays before teaching God's Word help me quite a bit knowing that the Holy Spirit is guiding these studies.

These studies provide great insight into each book. I can't recommend them enough. I'm all in of Dr Creasy's through the Bible study. I invite you to join as well. My only regret is that I mostly listen to these during my long commute and I wish I had my Bible to take notes.

Great

Love Dr Bill Creasy! A great way to re-learn the Bible.

Can't wait to start the next book and all the rest.

Enjoyed It Very Much

Dr. Bill Creasy has a great ability to make studying the Bible both entertaining and educational. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
