Exploring the Gospel of Matthew by John Phillips

As I've stated in previous blog entries, I will be attending Arlington Bible College in the spring semester.

While I haven't completely decided on which courses I'll be taking, I know that one of them will be an indepentant study course on the book of Matthew. This is a 3 credit course. I know I want to take at least one 'classroom' class, but haven't decided on which one. I'm thinking that I'll only take two course this semester, as I think going to class one night per week might be all I'll be able to handle. I don't want to run the risk of signing up for two classes, then becoming overwhelmed and drop out. Two classes each semester, with one being a classroom course (1 night per week) and one being an independant course, might be the best approach for me. That would give me six credits per semester or twelve credits per year. I'd need 48 credits in order to get my second B.A. degree. That would come out to a four year process.

Last year I decided to do a study of the book of Matthew and purchased several books, dealing strictly with the first gospel:

Boice, James Montgomery The Gospel of Matthew - The King & His Kingdom Matthew 1-17
Boice, James Montgomery The Gospel of Matthew - The Triumph of the King Matthew 18-28
MacArthur, John F. Jr. Matthew 1-7 Matthew 1-7
MacArthur, John F. Jr. Matthew 8-15 Matthew 8-15
MacArthur, John F. Jr. Matthew 16-23 Matthew 16-23
MacArthur, John F. Jr. Matthew 24-28 Matthew 24-28
Keener, Craig S. A Commentary On The Gospel of Matthew Matthew

I've just ordered Exploring the Gospel of Matthew: An Expository Commentary by John Phillips. This is a hardback editor of 560 pages and is part of the Exploring the Bible series.

My library on the Gospel of Matthew is expanding. I've also ordered several other books which focus strictly on Matthew.
