Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry (1662–1714) was a Welsh-born, English non-conformist minister and renowned biblical scholar. Best known for his Commentary on the Whole Bible, a six-volume work that offers insightful, verse-by-verse exposition of the Scriptures, Henry's writings have been treasured by pastors, scholars, and lay readers alike for their clarity, devotional warmth, and practical application. Educated in law before committing to the ministry, his deep reverence for Scripture and pastoral concern for the spiritual growth of his congregation marked all his works. Beyond his famous commentary, Henry also penned various sermons and treatises, focusing on Christian living, prayer, and godly character. His influence endures in Christian theology and biblical interpretation.
