Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Name: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
Author: Matthew Henry

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.
