The following books contain brief introductions to each book of the Bible.

I find The Biblical software Verbum very helpful. That is the Catholic version of Logos. It is possible to add on many resources / digital books in Logos onto your Verbum software. |
On the Gospel of Matthew I find the series of commentaries by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis very helpful Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew in 3 volumes |
The following are a variety of Scripture commentaries
