Finally read the Gospel of Matthew with confidence. If Scripture has ever felt confusing or out of reach, this warm, plain-language classic walks you through all 28 chapters of Matthew, passage by passage, and shows you how every part speaks straight to your own faith and daily life.
Written by J.C. Ryle, the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, whose plain-language tracts sold in the millions during his lifetime, this commentary flows from decades of parish ministry and a lifelong gift for making Scripture clear to ordinary readers.
WHAT MAKES THIS EDITION UNIQUE
This is a newly prepared, annotated, and modernized edition of Ryle's 1856 classic. It is different from every other edition in print:
Each section explains what the passage means, draws out its practical lessons, and presses them home to the reader's conscience in Ryle's famously direct style. You will always know where you are and what's coming next.In this book you will:
Ryle keeps the great truths plain: Christ died in the place of sinners, salvation is received by faith, and his return is real and personal. Every page moves from understanding to application, so you finish each reading knowing what Matthew teaches and what it asks of you.
Whether you're a brand-new believer, a reader who wants trustworthy classic devotional material, or a serious student of evangelical writing, this commentary will serve you for years. Perfect for readers of Matthew Henry, Warren Wiersbe, and David Platt. A companion study workbook with discussion questions for groups and families is available separately.

About the Author
J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) seemed destined for Parliament: an Eton and Oxford man, a champion cricketer, heir to a banking fortune. Then the fortune collapsed, and the ruined heir entered the ministry of the Church of England. He spent thirty-eight years as a country pastor, writing tracts and commentaries so clear that they circulated in the millions, before Prime Minister Disraeli named him the first Bishop of Liverpool in 1880. Charles Spurgeon called him "the best man in the Church of England." His books have never gone out of print
Richard French edited this modernized edition of J.C. Ryle's Expository Thoughts on Matthew. Archaic vocabulary was replaced against a fixed list, load-bearing doctrinal terms were protected outright, and Ryle's own sentences were left standing. He is the author of Revelation Explained and the founder of Indie Pen Press.
