 | Effective for quick-reference, but get the unabridged, if possible. Jul 23, 2005 |
Matthew Henry is a devotional scholar - that is, his commentaries shouldn't be used for historical study or language study as much as for how the text of the Bible is applicable to the lives of Christians. That said, he might be the most prolific devotional commentator of all time.
I have the original six-volume commentary in my home library, and the abridged version on Quickverse on my notebook computer, for when I'm on the road. I also have this, and it does come in handy for quick reference (I used it this week while I was waiting in the doctor's office). However, one should get the unabridged Henry to get the full thrust of his commentary. This is a good quick reference tool, but probably shouldn't take the place of uncut Henry. | | |  | Condensed version of Matthew Henry's commentary Jun 28, 2003 |
| This book has been condensed to fit six volumes into one handy book. The book is still pretty thick but surprisingly light for its size. Sometimes, when Matthew Henry expresses the same thought in two or more different ways, Mr. Church cuts down to a single sentence. However he has preserved the meaning, but does not necessarily expand on the thought. He also omits references to other Bible verses that might bear on a particular commentary to save space. Since the complete volumes are not as portable, or not as readable [the unabridged one volume version], this volume is a good compromise. It is like having a pastor handy to answer questions about Bible verses, in one lightweight volume. Note that the two column format is more readable, than the 3 column format of the unabridged one volume version, although the font is still pretty small. | | |  | A Necessary Read For Anyone Interested In The Bible Aug 12, 1999 |
| The information is solid and enlightening as a whole. There are some questionable interpretations, but very informative where the Pentateuch is concerned. | | | | The best, most informative Bible commentary in my library Jan 6, 1999 |
| Matthew Henry has a remarkable ability in presenting a balanced, intelligent account of biblical stories. I wouldn't be without his insights to help me gain a better understanding. This is a great gift for earnest Sunday School students and active students of the Bible. | | | | THIS BOOK HAS AN EXCELLENT OVERVIEW OF THE BIBLE Jul 4, 1998 |
