Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume III (Job to Song of Solomon)

Matthew Henry (1662–1714) was an English Nonconformist minister, pastor of a Presbyterian congregation in Chester. He is remembered for the work he began in 1704, his Exposition of the Old and New Testaments — a complete Bible commentary of warm, practical, quotable exposition. Henry finished the text through Acts; after his death, fellow ministers completed the remaining volumes from his notes. All six volumes are in our library.

About this book

Volume three of Matthew Henry's commentary on the Bible, covering Job through the Song of Solomon. Here are Henry's notes on the Bible's wisdom and poetry: Job's suffering, the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song. Few parts of his commentary are more quoted, for Henry's gifts of observation, sympathy, and crisp expression suit these books of experience and devotion especially well.
