Description
Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible
Originally written in 1706, Matthew Henry's six volume Complete Commentary provides an exhaustive look at every verse in the Bible.
Matthew Henry's well-known six-volume Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708–1710) or Complete Commentary, provides an exhaustive verse by verse study of the Bible. covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the author's death, the work was finished (Romans through Revelation) by thirteen other nonconformist ministers, partly based upon notes taken by Henry's hearers, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811.
Henry's commentaries are primarily exegetical, dealing with the scripture text as presented, with his prime intention being explanation, for practical and devotional purposes. While not being a work of textual research, for which Henry recommended Matthew Poole's Synopsis Criticorum, Henry's Exposition gives the result of a critical account of the original as of his time, with practical application. It was considered sensible and stylish, a commentary for devotional purposes.
Famous evangelical Protestant preachers such as George Whitefield and Charles Spurgeon used and heartily commended the work, with Whitefield reading it through four times - the last time on his knees. Spurgeon stated, "Every minister ought to read it entirely and carefully through once at least."
Henry's reputation rests upon his renowned commentary, An Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-10, known also as Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible). He lived to complete it only as far as to the end of the Acts, but after his death other like-minded authors prepared the remainder from Henry's manuscripts. This work was long celebrated as the best English commentary for devotional purposes and the expanded edition was initially published in 1896. Instead of critical exposition, Henry focuses on practical suggestion, and his commentaries contains rich stores of truths.

In-depth commentary
It brings out thoughts that I never considered. Covers the topic thoroughly. Would recommend completely!
Bible commentary
A lot of information and can learn a lot
Extremely well designed and simple to use
An excellent study help well designed and laid out love how reference verses are directly linked so you don’t have to leave the passage and all free
Needs to be properly edited
This is from this commentary! Animal spirits? Either this is bad editing or someone is trying To deceive!
Review
I have learned so much I study deeper
In-depth information
This commentary is most helpful especially when I want a deeper explanation on a particular passage. The information here enlightened the eyes of my understanding. One thing I wish was available, and that is a place to log notes that leave some kind of icon on the page I’m reading on so it will be easy to just tap the icon and find the notes.
It’s great to be reminded
How beautiful to be reminded of what you should remember. Waking up or going through the day and a reminder pops checking to see if you read the Word blesses me. I don’t always get to read as much as I’d like, but I read a lot when I do. This is a great tool to have and the commentary is a plus. Thank you for this app, cause it helps. Bishop T.L. Simpson
Key to Understanding
I am so grateful to a friend who introduced me to this Commentary. Since then I keep it close by both in print and on my devices. I use it continuously to help with understanding the Holy Scriptures and for clarification and verification of issues that come up daily in life. It is a vital resource to have and I enjoy reading it always.. Thanks to the authors who took the time to out it together….

Love this app; but I'm having trouble getting it to read to me. What am I missing? It's reading in the settings but not elsewhere. Thank you
