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.

Matthew Henry was an English non-conformist clergyman. Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708–1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament.
I am reading this commentary every morning with the Bible. I absolutely love it. It is amazing a commentary written in 1710 is as relevant today as it was then. Being human does not change one iota from generation to generation.
Matthew Henry's commentary on the Bible is, in my opinion, the greatest commentary ever written. His in depth knowledge is amazingly good, and well worth your time.
