Can the Gospel of Matthew be trusted? Was Jesus truly crucified and raised? And how do we answer those who deny Him?
Matthew: According to Matthew is an apologetics-driven study of the first Gospel, designed to strengthen believers and challenge skeptics. Pastor Brandon Thompson takes readers on a journey through Matthew’s Gospel, showing how history, prophecy, and eyewitness testimony unite to confirm its truth.
Historical Reliability: Was Matthew really written by the tax collector turned disciple? When and where was it composed? Drawing from early church fathers like Papias, Irenaeus, Origen, and Augustine, this book demonstrates the Gospel’s apostolic authorship and faithful preservation.
Jesus in History: From the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection, Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of prophecy. With insights from Gary Habermas, Lee Strobel, Sam Shamoun, and InspiringPhilosophy, the case for Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection is shown to be one of the strongest facts in all of history.
Answering Objections: What about Matthew 24:36, where Jesus says He does not know the day or hour? What about Islam’s denial of the cross? Can we explain the Trinity directly from Matthew’s Gospel? Here, leading apologists such as David Wood, Robert Spencer, Sam Shamoun, and GodLogic address the most common Islamic and skeptical misuses of Scripture.
To conclude, the book provides the full text of the Gospel of Matthew (KJV), allowing readers to encounter the inspired words themselves after walking through the historical and apologetic defense.
This is not a dry academic volume, but a clear, faith-building resource. Whether you are a Christian wanting to defend your faith, a seeker curious about the truth of Jesus, or an apologist engaging skeptics and Muslims, Matthew: According to Matthew will equip you with the evidence and confidence to proclaim boldly:
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
