For centuries the Jewish community in Europe possessed a copy of Matthew in the Hebrew language. The Jews' use of this document during the Middle Ages is imperfectly known. Occasionally excerpts from it appeared in polemical writings against Christianity.

The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

This book offers a new explanation of the development of the first three Gospels based on a careful examination of both patristic testimony to the "Hebrew Gospel" and internal evidence in the canonical Gospels themselves. James Edward breaks new ground and challenges assumptions that have long been held in the New Testament guild but actually lack solid evidence.

Matthew the Hebrew Gospel is the third volume of Carrolls work in process on the four gospels. Carroll helps you to see why Matthew was written and why it is the first book of the New Testament. Matthews gospel was written in the Hebrew language first and later translated into the Greek. Matthews gospel was also written much earlier than scholars have taught. Carroll brings out many of the Jewish customs, history, geography as well as many personal experiences throughout this amazing work. The Bible will come together as he helps you to connect Old Testament passages to the ministry of Jesus the Messiah. Carroll has put together years of research into an easy-read format for ministers and laypeople alike.
