1. 5/5Brilliant

   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.

2. 5/5Valuable 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. The reader should be aware that the punctuation in this version sometimes is missing or incorrect and you need to re-read it with the correct punctuation in your mind.

3. 5/5Matthew Henry Bible Commentary

   For many years the printed edition of the Matthew Henry Bible Commentary has been my principal Bible study tool. It has been decisive in my understanding of hundreds of passages, thanks to all the information it provides. Translation from original Hebrew or Greek is one of Bible translations most difficult tasks. The explanation of what it meant in the original language is of enormous help. Also, historic, social, political, background are very helpful. With the app it is way much easier to use anywhere at any time. I don’t have to carry the voluminous book around and research is much faster. It is a huge blessing.

   This has been helpful, I can go immediately to my iPad and pull up a verse or some place in the scriptures, and read what is says, to throw more light on a subject. It is so much easier then grabbing my books and looking something up. Thank you. This continues be a marvelous blessing. I appreciate that at my fingertips for free, I have such a valuable resource to compare my thoughts or others to understand the scripture. Thank you for this treasure.
