Purchased from my employer, the Canadian Bible Society @ Cafe Logos, Vancouver.
This text review continues...
I reason that the previous seven introductory articles should suffice for this academic bible. Now in articles, I will review selected verses and comments from this bible, which most intrigued me when I purchased the text.
Author: Saint Matthew the Apostle (1)
Date: A.D. 50-75 (1)
Matthew 1: As I reasoned when reviewing this bible at my employer's book store, the academic notes with this Orthodox Study Bible are very helpful.
The New King James Version is used: (Online version virtually the same but not identical to text version)
1 The book of the genealogy[a] of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

Jesus means 'O Lord save' (1) and Christ means the 'Anointed One, the Messiah' (1). Jesus Christ is therefore Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ in Matthew 1 (Greek: Ἰησοῦς), the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua (Hebrew: ישוע), the Lord saves as the anointed one, the Messiah. Or, God saves us as the anointed Messiah. Ἰησοῦς is masculine as opposed to feminine or neuter (genitive Ἰησοῦ). It is genitive as in possessive and the word changes in form to indicate genitive in Matthew 1:1.
The incarnate God the Son was Jesus Christ.
This bible in notes writes that Jesus became a Jew and was in the lineage of Abraham, the Father of the Jews (and the Hebrews, my add). (1). Matthew and its genealogy reveals the history of God's choice of servants within humanity. (1). God had established a covenant of circumcision (Genesis 17) with Abraham (1). But, the work of Christ brings followers into the righteous of God incarnate himself. (1).
This can be seen in Romans, Galatians as examples.
The text notes that Luke's genealogy documents from Jesus back to Adam, while in Matthew the genealogy begins with Abraham. (1).
It is noted that in 1: 3 usually only men are mentioned in a genealogy, but in Matthew it mentions Ruth for example. (2). These are not exhaustive genealogies, but one's of theme and purpose as can be understood as Mathew and Luke are not identical.
This is a selective list in Matthew. (5).
