3. The Sermon on the Mount: The Character of a Disciple

256 pages | List Price: $15.99 | Paperback

Summary — “Among Jesus’ teachings, the Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most beloved, the best known, the least understood, and the hardest to obey,” says Daniel Doriani. His skillful exposition and gripping application of the sermon will help readers realize in thought and in life the character of true disciples.

4. James

240 pages | List Price: $22.99 | Hardcover | Reformed Expository Commentary series

Summary — With 59 commands in 108 verses, the epistle of James contains an obvious zeal for law. James, in his imperatives, directs us to the royal law, the law of King Jesus (2:8). Because of this, the hasty reader will not see much of the gospel in James, but as Doriani reveals in his insightful commentary, the double mention of God’s grace at the rhetorical climax of the book shows that the gospel of James is still the message of God’s grace for sinners.

1,200 pages | List Price: $59.99 | Hardcover | Reformed Expository Commentary series

Summary — While paying careful attention to a commentary’s traditional interest in the structure, backgrounds, and grammar of the text, Doriani also supplies the theological commentary, Christ-centered focus, and personal and corporate applications that pastors and teachers need. Each chapter attends to Matthew’s original intent and seeks to express that intent in ways that evoke his distinct voice, so as to fulfill the goal of Matthew’s gospel—making disciples by forming the mind, heart, and hands of believers.
