Condensed version of Matthew Henry's commentary Clare Chu This book has been condensed to fit six volumes into one handy book. The book is still pretty thick but surprisingly light for its size. Sometimes, when Matthew Henry expresses the same thought in two or more different ways, Mr. Church cuts down to a single sentence. However he has preserved the meaning, but does not necessarily expand on the thought. He also omits references to other Bible verses that might bear on a particular commentary to save space. Since the complete volumes are not as portable, or not as readable [the unabridged one volume version], this volume is a good c. This is still a good reference to have msiee I gave this book only 4 stars because it is concise. I feel that this book should have the entire collection. My reasoning, I feel you miss much when Mr. Henry's thoughts are simply summarized as opposed to having his complete dissertation available. This is still a good reference to have, especially for those readers either new to the Bible or those who want to take their Bible study to the next level. I still suggest finding the complete commentary (which can be found online), but this book is a quick reference that one can still manage.. High Quality books and commentary I am so glad to have this set. Henry was so prolific in his writings that the type must be somewhat small to fit it in a reasonable set of books. But the print and book structure are high quality. They look good on the shelf and should hold up well to my use of them.As for the content. Henry has some of the very best spiritual insights on many passages that other commentaries simply avoid making comment. I return to this work over and over.
