Matthew; A Commentary on His Handbook for a Mixed Church under Persecution
This commentary demonstrates Gundry's conviction that Matthew relied on the Gospel of Mark and the document "Q." Furthemore, Gundry argues for a combination of historical data and theological embellishments in passages such as those that present the birth of Jesus the Sermon on the Mount, and Peter's walking on the water.

"Heralded as "an epoch-making book" when it first appeared, Gundry's ground-breaking commentary on Matthew stands as a benchmark work in biblical scholarship and modern methodology. This edition takes up criticism that reviewers and other readers have lodged against the first edition. Included are two hundred new endnotes and an appendix that expand the commentary and provide fresh reflection on the text. This bold study retains the redaction-critical methodology of Gundry's original work and the host of provocative interpretations that result." IZBG: Issues in Law & Medicine This book will remain a monument to Matthean scholarship.
