I just learned that R.T. France died on Friday, February 10th. He was a great scholar and Christian, and an expert in the Gospel of Matthew. I have benefited tremendously from both of his commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew, as well as his commentary on Mark, and to date I consider his Matthew commentary for the NICNT series to be my favorite modern Bible commentary.
We should thank God for giving us good teachers. We now have one less.
Sad to hear of his passing. His Matthew commentary in the Tyndale series was the first commentary I ever read cover-to-cover.
