The fourteenth book in this series, this text focuses on textual comments and believer edification of the Acts of the Apostles and the letter to the Romans. Although the text isn't focused on textual research of a theological exegesis, the commentary does try to bring the ideas and assertions made by Luke and Paul in the first days of the Christian church in the ancient world. This book is handy for anyone who wants to read into commentary history as well as to get a good solid look at how the texts of Acts and Romans apply to our lives.
Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the author's death, the work was finished by a number of ministers, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811. Not a work of textual criticism, its attempt at good sense, discrimination, its high moral tone and simple piety with practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its English style, made it one of the most popular works of its type. Matthew Henry's six volume Complete Commentary, originally published in 1706, provides an exhaustive verse by verse study of the Bible. His commentaries are still in use to this day.
