    Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit because the kingdom of the heavens is of them."

    The first thing Jesus teaches in the book of Matthew is that the poor in spirit are blessed.

    Over the next few episodes I'll present an exegetical interpretation of the first eight "beatitudes" or "makarisms" according to Matthew.

    Whilst there are plenty of biblical interpretations and theological interpretations around, it would be good to present an exegetical interpretation (based on the Matthean text).

Most listeners will be able to understand it but it's really scholars who will appreciate it most.

It's really advance access to what's going into the book publication. If you can't wait for the book to come out then have a listen!
