Those new to Christianity are often drawn to the rich teaching of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount as they find their footing in their new faith. Those who are familiar with Matthew 5-10 from many years of church, may forget just how radical his teaching was to the listeners of his day. Both the new believer and the seasoned saint, says D.A. Carson, need to study the Sermon on the Mount again and again.

In his explanation of Jesus's teaching in Matthew 5-10, D. A. Carson clearly presents the call for every believer to live a pure life. He offers pastors and lay readers rich insights and practical life application from the Sermon on the Mount.
