Dr. Chris Miller is a long-time Bible professor at Cedarville University. He and I have known each other since graduate school, but we've seldom had a chance to have a good conversation. The publication of his recent commentary on Matthew in the Regular Baptist New Testament Exposition Commentary Series provided a great opportunity for us to get together. I've also posted on the book at drdavidlturner.com.
In this video we begin with a bit of reminiscing about how our paths have crossed through the years. Soon we move to Matthew and touch on the following key points:
• How Chris did this work, and how it affected him personally
• The distinctives of the RBNTEC series
• Who will profit from reading the commentary
• Matthew's teaching and contemporary dispensationalism
Most impactful for me was Chris's answer to my question about a teaching of Matthew that was greatly needed by American churches today. Chris pointed to Matthew 10, where Jesus spoke of the persecution his disciples would endure. I've thought about this myself, and it definitely made me ponder the easy life that I and most Christians in my circles live.
This is a commentary that gets right to the point, for the good of the church, evoking John Calvin's "clear brevity" model of commenting. I hope you take a good look at this book. I recommend it highly.
