The Sermon on the Mount

More than most popular expositions, The Sermon on the Mount is a product of consistent scholarship. Dr. Carson combines good style, solid exposition, and a coherent respect for the authority of Jesus' words. The inescapable demands on believers to live a pure and committed Christian life are presented with utmost clarity.

While it is a scholarly text, it never suffers from cold didacticism. The author states: "The more I read these chapters - Matthew 5, 6, and 7 - the more they attract and shame me. Their bright light draws me in like a moth to a flame, but it is such a powerful light that it scorches and burns. There is no room for those forms of piety that are nothing more than appearance and imposture."

Dr. Carson maintains a firmly evangelical perspective, although he is familiar with other relevant theological viewpoints. His two appendices summarize the various critical approaches and theological interpretations of the Sermon on the Mount.
