Plot

"I am deeply convinced that the church of Christ needs to study the Sermon on the Mount again and again," writes D.A. Carson. In his popular explanation of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5-10, this renowned author clearly presents the inescapable demands on the believer to live a pure and dedicated life. As Carson covers the Sermon on the Mount and the events that follow, he blends good writing, thoughtful exposition, and consistent respect for the authority of Jesus' words. Bible teachers in church and parachurch groups, thoughtful Christians who want more than a surface-level devotional, and pastors who preach on Matthew 5-10 will find rich insights and practical applications in this book. Two appendixes are included that summarize the various critical approaches and theological interpretations of the Sermon on the Mount. These appendixes will help readers view Carson's interpretation with a more balanced vision and with deeper understanding. Based on solid scholarship yet easy to read, Jesus' Sermon on the Mount combines two books by Carson in one: his popular The Sermon on the Mount, which has been in print for over twenty years, and When Jesus Confronts the World.
