S. Matthew, S. Peter, S. Jude, S. James: The Books of the Bible in Modern (Classic Reprint)

The Good News, according to S. Matthew, is distinguished by its many quotations from the Old Testament, and by the amount of space it gives to the teaching of Jesus as compared with his acts. This body of teaching is always set before us by S. Matthew at considerable length, and after the fashion and method of the old Hebrew Wisdom Poets. The parallelism of the thought and the rhythmic flow of the language is remarkable. On the other hand, the bringing out of this great feature of this Gospel makes us appreciate the learning and culture of the writer, as well as to understand and enjoy the beauties of his thought and diction. It shows us what a characteristic portraiture of our Lord he has drawn for us, and the necessity of the four writers for a full and well rounded view of him for all time to come. Yet, S. Matthew writes with no stiff national or exclusive pride.
