A few weeks ago a blog tour of Matt Woodley’s commentary on Matthew started. Each day a few bloggers post a thought or review of a section of the commentary. I read the section from Matthew 13. A few thoughts…
The commentary is part of IVP’s Resonate series, which seeks to combine the “the biblical sense” of the text with its “cultural significance.” The series seems aimed primarily at practitioners, not scholars or academics. It would be a great resource for those who lead Missional Communities, Bible studies, or small groups. Woodley writes with an pastoral, conversational tone that’s easy to read.
