"Matthew on Money" by Rev. Lawrence Keister, D.D. is a theological exploration written in the early to mid-20th century. This work offers an insightful analysis of the Gospel of Matthew, focusing specifically on how the text addresses themes related to money, giving, and the spiritual implications of wealth. The author, drawing from his theological background, seeks to illustrate the intertwining of financial matters with the moral teachings of Jesus. In this book, Keister examines several key passages in the Gospel of Matthew that delve into the relationship between faith and wealth. He discusses stories such as the visiting Wise Men who presented gifts to Christ and contrasts their genuine giving with Satan's temptations. The author emphasizes the importance of motives behind financial dealings and the idea that true devotion to God often transcends material concerns. Additionally, Keister highlights the challenges that wealth presents to spiritual life, illustrating how reliance on God must surpass any devotion to material possessions. Through a careful examination of scriptural references, Keister aims to transform readers' understanding of money from a superficial perspective to one rooted in faith and spirituality.
