Matthew Henry (1662-1714) was born in Shropshire, England and began reading the Bible at age three. He was preaching when he was twenty-four and didn't stop until his death. In 1704 he began collecting his voluminous notes on the Bible into a massive commentary that was well-received by his contemporaries and has served to bring generations of Christians closer to Christ.

Three hundred years of preachers and scholars have come to Matthew Henry's Commentary for inspiration and edification. Matthew Henry expresses his insights into scripture with simplicity, clarity, and devotion.
