One of my favorite study Bibles. I agree with most of what Henry said about scripture, other than his support for arranged marriage and his strict Calvinistic interpretation of certain passages. His notes on Revelation weren’t very helpful in terms of future prophecy, but I found excellent tidbits in most books that helped bring God’s word to life and to remind me of other parallel themes and passages.
I was listen'n to a pastor so I got out me new bible on me Kindle Fire, and I got the biggest upset the pastor would go from one part of the bible to the next. When I tried to follow the pastor i couldn't, you have to go through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, etc etc etc just to get to the book of 1 Samuel. There is no way to be able to follow along with any pastor when use'n this bible. I am hope'n I kin delete this bible from me Kindle Fire and I'm hope'n I will be able to get a refund.
I purchased this study bible for my reading pleasure this year and it has not disappointed me. I encountered a bible study that used many quotes by Matthew Henry and I just had to see for myself what his commentary could add to my life. Matthew Henrys insights apply just as much today as in the time of his life. (1600-1700)
