Matthew 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.  The Complete Commentary provides an exhaustive verse-by-verse study of the Bible.

“Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible is well-known and well-loved. His commentary is aimed primarily at explanation and edification, as opposed to textual research. Comprehensive, this commentary provides instruction and encouragement throughout. Each volume of the commentary comes with its own introduction, helpfully situating it for the reader. Although written in an older style, Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible is worth studying and is useful for pastors, theologians, and students of the Bible.”—Tim Perrine, CCEL Staff Writer

There is also a smaller, condensed devotional commentary on the Bible from Henry known as Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary.
