Summary: Complete Commentary on every Verse
Comment: Matthew Henry's commentary covers every verse in the Bible. If you have a question on a particular verse, you can always turn to Matthew Henry and he'll give you some insight on the meaning as well as link it to other verses that talks about that concept. This edition has extremely small font size and is very hard on the eyes to read. In one sitting it is probably wise to only study about 5 verses in depth, as it is definitely full of meaning and not for skimming.

Summary: I suppose there are worse Commentaries
Comment: The ease at which this book can be read and its "cleverness" can not and should not be mistaken with the worth this work should be appropriately given, or in this case not given.
I certainly wouldn't go searching for a Commentary that was worse than this. Matthew Henry has incredibly taken a marvelous work and tossed it on its side and in the process, loses much of the greatness within the words of the Old Testament. The greatest weakness is the time of its writing, before any great insight could have been determined through the archaeology and scripture study. This and its inherent design feature to overlook obvious doublets and themes of the individual stories warrants an extremely careful and educated read of this book.
Granted, this book will work well if one wants to take the holy scriptures and adapt them to their own personal ideaology, stripping the words of their original meaning. However, if one wants to actually delve into the scriptures and unlock the hidden doorways of information within their words, this book will hardly give such an experience and enlightenment.

Summary: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
Comment: In plain english, the mysteries of the Bible are explainted. Written in the 15th century, the lessons of his time are even more relevant today. If you ever wanted a companion to the Bible that will allow you to understand the Bible and make it relevant to your everyday life, this is the book for you.
