Product Description
The Sermon on the Mount: The Church's First Statement of the Gospel
The Sermon on the Mount is a critical study of Matthew 5-7. Dr. Scaer explores each unit of the sermon and presents the rich Law/Gospel truths in Jesus' words. This sermon, the author argues, is designed as instruction for God's people; Matthew's purpose in including this sermon is catechetical, or a focus on preparing catechumens for Baptism and life in Christ in the church. Scaer discusses the individual sections of the sermon in a way that helps readers understand both the content and the goal of Matthew's text.
