On Sundays we relax a bit from this blog, catching up on our readings or briefly summarizing where we have been or where we are going. Today I want to note a few more online resources.
The Blue Letter Bible has a study guide on Matthew. It begins here.
Bob Utley, a pastor out of East Texas (where I'm located now) has a nice overview of various passages from the Bible. Here is his introduction to the Sermon on the Mount. Bob's accent meets the stereotype of the southern televangelist, but his understanding and communication of bible passages is much better than that.
On a different direction, here is the Wikipedia page on the Renaissance painting of Jesus calling the tax collector, Matthew, to be his follower. The gospels were the source for much of medieval and Renaissance art.
While searching Youtube, I found a four hour (!!) adaptation of Matthew as film. Personally this is not for me (I'd rather read the whole book – in the KJV – than watch this slow moving film!) but I it shows the things one can try to do with Bible Study.
Tomorrow we return to Matthew, looking at the "transfiguration" which appears in chapter 17.
