关于此电子书

Time has sealed the reputation of Matthew Henry's classic commentary as a rich source of insight into God's 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 Henry's day have taken on different meanings today. In addition, Henry's 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 Henry's incomparable writings in a style that is easy to read and understand. -Dr. Leslie Church's meticulous abridgment retains the essential content of the original work. - Easily misunderstood words have been replaced with modern ones while keeping Henry's style. - Use of the New International Version (NIV) instead of the King James Version makes this edition fully compatible with today's 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

作者简介

Matthew Henry was born in Broad Oak, Iscoid, Wales, on October 18, 1662. Matthew Henry converted to Christianity at the age of ten (1672). He studied law and was ordained in 1687; he served as pastor in Chester from that same year until 1712. He began teaching the Old Testament in the mornings and the New Testament in the evenings. This formed the basis for his future Commentary, which was begun in 1704; however, he died in 1714 and thirteen non-conformist theologians were commissioned to complete it. His theology is a faithful witness to evangelical truth, emphasizing the total depravity of man and the sovereign and saving grace of God. His work demonstrates a deep spiritual capacity and a great erudition, the product of his great knowledge of Greek and Hebrew.
