Manuscript Study - The Book of Matthew

What's brewing at Morning Blend?

This year we'll be taking a deep dive into the Gospel of Matthew with a manuscript study!

What is a manuscript study?!!

Here are a couple of helpful links for you to check out:

What you might find helpful:

If you join us at Morning Blend, you'll get a binder with a manuscript of Matthew (without chapter breaks, verse numbers, or paragraph breaks). The translation we'll be using in the ESV, as it is considered to be one of the most literal while still being readable. We'll also be making an effort to get colored pencils into the hands of everyone in the group. 

We strongly encourage doodling! So, the back sides of all the pages in your binder will be blank for note taking and doodling. 

You may wish to pull out translations of the Bible other than the ESV for comparison, though you are strongly encouraged to read through the manuscript a few times first before consulting additional translations or commentaries. Bring those translations with you whenever you can. They'll make for great discussion after our initial readings.
