The Sermon on the Mount: An Expositional Commentary

The Expositional Commentary Series

By: James Montgomery Boice

Narrated by: John Lescault

Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount shows us the absolute necessity of the new birth and a regenerated heart. It points us to Jesus himself. And it indicates the way to blessing for Christians—how we can please our heavenly Father.

James Montgomery Boice provides an in-depth look into the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7. He explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and relates its concerns to today’s world, the church, and the realities of the Christian life.

Boice’s clear, practical writing makes this a helpful commentary for a wide range of audiences—from serious Bible students to interested laypersons—to understand and apply the truths found in Jesus’s teaching. It covers such topics as:

• “The Secret of Happiness” (5:3-12),
• “How to Rejoice in Persecutions” (5:12),
• “When You Are Angry” (5:21-26),
• “Divorce and Remarriage” (5:31-32),
• “How to Pray” (6:5-8),
• “The Names of God” (6:9),
• “How to Defeat Temptation” (6:13),
• “Fasting” (6:16-18), and
• “Spiritual Discernment” (7:6).

One of the best.

This is one of the best commentaries of the Sermon on the Mount that I have read. Nice has a great knowledge of Scripture that is evidence in his many other writings and commentaries.

Great scholarship. Hard to put down. Spiritual experience. Goes deep into the meaning of texts. Wish he had done whole Bible.
