“To plumb the depths of the Holy Scriptures — and, in a preeminent manner, the Gospels — is to deepen our knowledge and love of God, Who has most perfectly revealed Himself to us by the redemptive Incarnation of God the Son. By pondering the Gospel according to Saint Matthew deeply, while translating it anew from the original text, Professor Michael Pakaluk helps us to receive the Word of God through the lens of the good banker — the good householder who dedicates himself to safeguarding and fostering our greatest treasure, our life in Christ in His holy Church. The fruit of his study is a most worthy instrument for our daily conversion to Christ and our growth in Him along the way of our earthly pilgrimage to our lasting home — eternal life with Him.”
— Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
“Be Good Bankers is one of those books that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the Gospel of Matthew. Thanks to Michael Pakaluk’s deep knowledge of Scripture, ancient languages, and the economic way of thinking, you will see Christ through the eyes of Saint Matthew himself. Tolle lege!” (Latin for “Take up and read”)
