Matthew Henry + Scofield Bible Commentary and King James Bible

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.

Brilliant

As a Preacher, I am studying as much of the Word as possible. This is my 5th year as a Minister and though there are many commentaries out there to read, I have found that Matthew Henry is by far my favorite. The man was brilliant. Now, I believe that God blessed him with the knowledge obviously, but without him being a willing vessel, it would be very hard to do as this man has done. He wasn’t reading the 1611 KJV that I use. It was after his time, which makes it even more amazing. I love how the app populates each referenced verse in a window without going to a different page. Makes a huge difference. I encourage anyone and everyone to read Mr. Henry’s commentary. If nothing more than to see how God had showed him his interpretation. I don’t agree with everything single thing he has written, but I do see eye to eye with his view of the Bible than anyone else. God is great! 1 Peter 4:8. Charity (love) shall cover THE multitude of sins. Not A multitude, but THE multitude.

Valuable app!

I’m very thankful that someone went to the effort to make Matthew Henry’s commentary available as an iPhone app. His comments are theologically sound, comprehensive in their knowledge of Scripture, and invaluable for their application to the lives of believers.

Sometimes his comments need to be compared to later commentators, as they were written before the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls,other manuscripts, and extra-biblical works that have provided scholars with a better understanding of the Hebrew and Greek used in the Scriptures. Even with that, there are few who equal him for his practical applications and his ability to convey profound statements in a brief and memorable sentence.
