Matthew: Introduction And Intertestamental Age

Who was Matthew-- What is the Book of Matthew all about----In Part 1 of our new study, we will introduce this Gospel and talk about the audience that it was originally written to - the Israelites. While Matthew contains truth and wisdom for all people, it was first intended to explain the person and work of Jesus to Matthew's Jewish contemporaries.--In addition to introducing the Book of Matthew, we'll also talk about the 'intertestamental age' that preceded its writing.--Questions That We'll Answer--A- Why was God 'silent' for over 400 years---B- What differentiates Matthew from the other Gospel accounts---C- Why are there two different genealogies -in Matthew and Luke-----Speaker- Rev.
