The previously untold story of Matthew's Gospel—brought to life for today’s readers.
Matthew’s Gospel stands as the first book of the Christian Testament, visible to all the world for almost two thousand years. But there is something hidden in Matthew’s Gospel. The document was not written at one time by one person—it is an edited document, bringing together different sources of tradition.
The Hidden Gospel of Matthew: Annotated & Explained takes readers deep into the text to find the words and events that have the strongest connection to the historical Jesus. Ron Miller reveals the underlying story of Matthew to readers, giving them a full appreciation of the book’s message, uncovering a portrait of Jesus that at times resembles the gnostic Christ and sage teacher of the Gospel of Thomas more than it does traditional Christianity.
