The Explanation by Blessed Theophylact of the Holy Gospel According to St. Matthew

De: C. Stade

Narrado por: Nathan Williams

This classic Eastern Orthodox commentary on the Gospel of Matthew was written in about the year 1100 A.D. by Theophylact of Bulgaria, a brilliant and saintly Byzantine churchman. Blessed Theophylact distills the teaching of the early Church Fathers, especially St. John Chrysostom, in language that is profound, powerful, and direct. His commentary has remained a primary text on New Testament interpretation throughout the Christian East. Translated from the original Greek text.

Explanation of Matthew by the blessed Theophylact

I enjoyed this book very much. The reader was great.. The material was very educational. a great way to disseminate the material!

Brilliant, except...

It actually appears to accuse the Mother of God of vain glory in the passage where the Mother and step brothers of Jesus send Him a message that they wish to speak to Him! I hope I am completely wrong, please correct me if I am. Truly I have no wish to be right about such a thing. The narrator did excellent work

Well done.

Explanations shed a lot of light, insight, context, and perspective.

Please record other patristic works.

Thank you.

Enlightening

Knowledge of the early fathers. Provides us the commentary for the Gospel of Matthew. A must have.

an Ancient Christian resource brought to our time

this audiobook presents not only the gospel of Matthew, but commentary that is nearly a thousand years old. For anyone who wants to understand the mind of the ancient Church, this offers valuable insight. I recommend the Explanation to anyone seeking to learn how to better understand the Gospel in its original context

Outstanding

Perfect depth, clear reading, edifying and soul Lifting. I look forward to more from this publisher

Proper spiritual food

A sober reading by a Deacon of the Orthodox Church. The text is one of those gold nuggets of wisdom and enlightens the sometimes esoteric text of the Holy Gospel.

A wonderful listen!

Enriching substance and quality production/narration. Hoping there will be more! Thank you Fr. Nathan.

Amazing!

I have heard the Gospel of Matthew many times, but not with the commentary and explanations given in this book. There is so much more to each account in the Bible and most Christians barely get to scratch the surface. This book has been such a blessing and a useful tool in deepening my understanding of God's word. I highly recommend it. Glory to God.

One of my most valued books!

I loved this commentary by Blessed Theophylact on the Holy Gospel According to St. Matthew. I listened to it while I worked in my yard; it made the time go by so quickly! I found Blessed Theophylact to be very insightful. This is a must have for anyone who considers the Gospels to be more valuable than silver or gold. I would love to acquire his commentaries on the other Gospels.
