Reading Matthew Radically

Mysticism in the Gospel of Matthew

By: Larry George

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Reading Matthew Radically: Mysticism in the Gospel of Matthew invites readers into a profound spiritual journey through one of Christianity’s most foundational texts. Far beyond historical study or moral instruction, this work uncovers the hidden mystical layers within Matthew’s Gospel, layers that call believers into intimate communion with the Divine.

Dr. Larry D. George, Ph.D., brings together years of scholarship, pastoral insight, and contemplative practice to reveal Matthew’s teachings as more than ethical commands; they are invitations to transformation, divine encounter, and spiritual awakening. From the Beatitudes to the parables, from the Transfiguration to the Resurrection, this volume explores how Matthew’s Gospel guides seekers into the mystery of God’s presence. This presence is hidden yet near, eschatological yet immediate, transcendent yet intimately personal.

Building upon his acclaimed earlier work, Reading John Radically, Dr. George offers a fresh theological lens that bridges Greek exegetical insights, contemplative practice, and mystical reflection. Designed for scholars, clergy, spiritual seekers, and anyone hungry for deeper engagement with Scripture, Reading Matthew Radically is a call to read not just with the mind, but with the heart: to encounter the Gospel as a living, breathing word that transforms, awakens, and draws the soul into the mystery of the kingdom of heaven.
