Who is Jesus? Why should we worship him? This book answers those questions by surveying Matthew's primary theological themes and how they interconnect with the rest of the Bible. Quarles focuses on Matthew's portrait of Jesus as the Savior of sinners, the King of God's people, the founder of a new Israel, and the incarnation of the Creator.

The Explorations in Biblical Theology series addresses the need for quality literature that attracts believing readers to good theology and builds them up in their faith. Each title in the series combines solid content with accessibility and readability—a valuable addition to the library of any college student, thoughtful lay reader, seminarian, or pastor.
