About This Book

Aimed at ordinary readers, the author offers a practical, devotional exposition of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5–7, unpacking the Beatitudes, the Christian revision of Mosaic law, motives for citizens of God's kingdom, the Lord's Prayer, unworldliness, Christian virtues, and final warnings. Each section interprets the original text to suggest meditative applications for daily life rather than technical criticism, and includes appendices with parallel Gospel passages, a Christian rendering of the Ten Commandments, and discussion of the Church's approach to divorce. The tone emphasizes moral formation, spiritual discipline, and how scriptural precepts shape conduct and prayer.
