DESCRIPTION

This is the best-selling one-volume edition of the perennial classic of all time - the commentaries of Matthew Henry.

The virtues of time confirmed the reputation of Matthew Henry's classic magnum opus as one of the richest well of insight into God's Word. Over 300 years have gone by since its first publication, yet it remains unsurpassed and is still christened as one of the best-loved and revered commentaries ever written.

Commentaries have come and gone, ancient and contemporary...but none can dethrone the majesty and sheer lustre of this impeccable work.

Yet while the wisdom contained within its pages is timeless, the English language has evolved tremendously through the years. Nuances of words and shades of meanings have altered and varied since the time of Matthew Henry. Modes and styles of communication have also evolved from verbose poetry to crisp and precise . These changes have affected the way people comprehend and communicate in the English language.

Thus in order to adapt to a modern contemporary culture, this Zondervan Matthew Henry Commentary is created to meet that particular need. It is a masterful response to these concerns. It represents the heart and soul of Matthew Henry's profound writings in a style that is easy to understand.

• Dr. Leslie Church's meticulous abridgement retains the essential content of the original work.
• Archaic words have been replaced with their contemporary counterparts
• Use of the NIV instead of the KJV makes this edition fully compatible with today's most widely used translation

In one volume, SKS is featuring a wealth of biblical exposition and wisdom. Ideal for:
