Bible Commentary and King James Bible

Summary Bible Commentary

Matthew Henry (October 18, 1662 - June 22, 1714) was a non-conformist minister and author, born in Wales, but spent much of his life in England. He is best known for the six-volume biblical exposition Exposition of the Old and New Testaments.

The well-known Six-Hundred and Old Testament Exposition of Matthew Henry (1708-10) or Complete Commentary, provides an exhaustive verse by studying the Bible verse covering the entire Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the death of the author, the work was completed (Romans through the Apocalypse) by thirteen nonconformist ministers, partly based on notes made by Henry's listeners, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811.

Henry's comments are basically exegetical, dealing with the text of the scriptures as presented, with its main intention being an explanation, for practical and devotional purposes. Although not a textual research paper, for which Henry recommended Matthew Poole's Synopsis Criticorum, Henry's Exposition gives the result of a critical account of the original from its time, with practical application. It was considered sensible and elegant, a commentary for devotional purposes.

Famous evangelical Protestant preachers like George Whitefield and Charles Spurgeon used and praised the work, with Whitefield reading it four times - the last time on their knees. Spurgeon stated: "Every minister should read this thoroughly and carefully at least once." John Wesley wrote about Henry:

He is allowed by all competent judges, to have been a person of strong understanding, of various learning, of solid piety, and of much experience in the ways of God. And their exposition is generally clear and intelligible, and the thoughts expressed in clear words: it is also found, according to the content of the scripture and the analogy of faith. It is often full, giving a sufficient explanation of the passages that require explanation. It is in many deep parts, penetrating more in inspired writings than most other comments. He does not entertain us with vain speculations, but it is practical all the time: and generally spiritual also teaching us to worship God, not only in form, but in spirit and truth.

Several abbreviated editions of the Commentary were published in the twentieth century; more recently, Christian linguist and reference book author Martin H. Manser has edited a modern English version: The New Matthew Henry Commentary: The Classic Work with Updated Language.
