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.
