Time has sealed the reputation of Matthew Henrys classic commentary as a rich source of insight into Gods word. Four centuries after its first publication, it remains one of the best-loved, most popular commentaries ever written. However, while its wisdom is timeless, the English language has changed much through the years. Words that meant one thing in Matthew Henrys day have taken on different meanings today. In addition, Henrys often wordy reflections are generations removed from the crisp style that communicates most effectively to contemporary readers. The Zondervan NIV Matthew Henry Commentary is a masterful response to these concerns. It delivers the heart and soul of Henrys incomparable writings in a style that is easy to read and understand. -Dr. Leslie Churchs meticulous abridgment retains the essential content of the original work. - Easily misunderstood words have been replaced with modern ones while keeping Henrys style. - Use of the New International Version (NIV) instead of the King James Version makes this edition fully compatible with todays most widely used Bible translation. In one volume, here is a wealth of exposition, metaphors, analogies, and illustrations, ideal for - Personal devotions - Bible study - Sermon and lesson preparation
