‘A Method for Prayer’ è una compilazione di preghiere interamente impostate su versetti biblici. La struttura è basata sulla forma biblica di preghiera, dividendo l’opera in capitoli che trattano l’Adorazione, Confessione, Supplica, Ringraziamento, Intercessione e Conclusione. Vi sono anche dei capitoli aggiuntivi con preghiere per occasioni particolari, e una parafrasi del Padre Nostro. Lo scopo dell’autore è di fornire un tracciato con cui possiamo formulare le nostre preghiere su base biblica, siano esse in forma pubblica, sia privata.
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.
