Matthew Henry Commentary - KJV 1.02

Matthew Henry Bible Commentary is an application that offers a comprehensive study of the Bible based on the renowned work of Matthew Henry. Henry, a Nonconformist minister and author, is widely recognized for his six-volume biblical commentary titled Exposition of the Old and New Testaments.

The Complete Commentary, also known as Exposition of the Old and New Testaments, provides an in-depth verse-by-verse analysis of the Bible, encompassing the entire Old Testament and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. Although Henry's commentary is primarily explanatory and devotional in nature rather than purely scholarly, it draws from critical analysis of the original texts available at the time.

Henry's work has gained significant acclaim among prominent evangelical Protestant preachers such as George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, and John Wesley. Its practical and spiritual guidance is regarded as sensible, stylish, and suitable for devotional purposes. The work has been held in such high regard that it has been recommended to ministers as essential reading.

Over time, several abbreviated editions of the Commentary have been published. More recently, Martin H. Manser, a Christian linguist and author, has edited a version called The New Matthew Henry Commentary: The Classic Work with Updated Language, which presents the content in modern English.

The Matthew Henry Bible Commentary application includes various features to enhance the study experience. Users can access commentaries on specific books and chapters, navigate easily between different sections of the Bible, and track their reading progress. The app also allows for sharing selected verses with aesthetically pleasing background images. In addition to the commentary, users have access to the King James Bible within the app and can click on links to directly view specific verses. Furthermore, users can highlight or underline portions of the commentary and add personal notes or bookmarks for future reference.
