TL;DR: In this article, the principles of relationship that existed between the work and message of Jesus and the social order were discovered, in the context of a historical situation and the person and work of Jesus.
Abstract: Jesus was a historical being. He belonged to a specific era in the historical process. Within the context of a historical situation he performed his work and made known his message. It is impossible to consider him, his work or his message apart from this historical situation. There was interplay between the forces that made up that historical situation and the person and work of Jesus. In this interplay may be discovered the principles of relationship that existed between the work and message of Jesus and the social order.

TL;DR: In this article, the socio-historical context of the Matthew's Gospel and the nature of Matthew's exhortation to his first-century Christian audience are discussed. But the focus of the commentary is not on the content of the message, but on the sociohistorical contexts of the Gospel.
Abstract: This excellent commentary on Matthew offers a unique interpretive approach that focuses on the socio-historical context of the Gospel and the nature of Matthew's exhortation to his first-century Christian audience. By merging a careful study of Matthew's Gospel in relation to the social context of the ancient Mediterranean world with a detailed look at what we know of first-century Jewish-Christian relations, Craig Keener uncovers significant insights into the Gospel not found in any other Matthew commentary.In addition, Keener's commentary is a useful discipleship manual for the church. His unique approach recaptures the full "shock effect" of Jesus' teachings in their original context and allows Matthew to make his point with greater narrative artistry. Keener also brings home the total impact of Matthew's message, including its clear portrait of Jesus and its call for discipleship, both to the Gospel's ancient readers and to believers today.
