Summary: An absolute must for any Christian home.
Review: Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible represents a monumental labor of love that took over 20 years to write. Composed between 1700 and 1722, Matthew Henry's writing is as eloquent and meaningful today as it was when he put pen to paper. Matthew Henry was the consummate biblical scholar and pastor, fired with a love for the Lord that drove him and inspired him in his explanation of the bible. The only shortfall of this version is it's small type, which is necessary to get the entire work into one volume. A truly outstanding work

Summary: I suppose there are worse Commentaries
Review: The ease at which this book can be read and its "cleverness" can not and should not be mistaken with the worth this work should be appropriately given, or in this case not given.I certainly wouldn't go searching for a Commentary that was worse than this. Matthew Henry has incredibly taken a marvelous work and tossed it on its side and in the process, loses much of the greatness within the words of the Old Testament. The greatest weakness is the time of its writing, before any great insight could have been determined through the archaeology and scripture study. This and its inherent design feature to overlook obvious doublets and themes of the individual stories warrants an extremely careful and educated read of this book. Granted, this book will work well if one wants to take the holy scriptures and adapt them to their own personal ideaology, stripping the words of their original meaning. However, if one wants to actually delve into the scriptures and unlock the hidden doorways of information within their words, this book will hardly give such an experience and enlightenment.

Summary: THE BEST
Review: The finest commentary available for our beloved Word of God. In his book, 'Delighting God,' D. James Kennedy states, "This classic of devotional commentary on the Scripture has stood the test of time and led thousands of people to a closer relationship with God. Charles Spurgeon, the great preacher of England, said he used to read it continually. George Whitefield, largely responsible along with Jonathan Edwards for the Great Awakening here in America in the eighteenth century, said that he had read the entire six volumes of 'Matthew Henry' through four times."(77). I can think of no greater endorsement.

Summary: Excellent whole Bible commentary
Review: This is a timeless classic. No one is more practical and witty than Matthew Henry. His commentary has been a huge help to me in my Bible study and his orthodoxy is seldom surpassed in whole bible commentaries. I would highly recommend anyone who is a Christian to have this commentary on their bookshelf. It is not the Word of God, but it is an excellent help for us to achieve greater understanding and wisdom from God's Word.
