In addition to providing familiarity with central matters related to the gospel, it helpfully engages the two dominant methods used in current interpretive work, namely, narrative and historical approaches to John.

Praise for Carter?s Matthew: Storyteller, Interpreter, Evangelist "With a deft touch and an eye for detail, Carter invites the reader to follow him on a well-planned literary tour of the world of Matthew?s Gospel and its story of Jesus.
