Looking for Answers about Hendrickson Publishers Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible, 6 Volumes?

Yes.

Yes,King James bible published in1611. Matthew Henry done his commentarie in 1708-1710, to my thinking all the other versions were yet to come.

Yes. Matthew Henry uses the King James Version - at least in the versions that I have. I'm really not sure of the timeline (Matthew Henry's time and King James) but the wording is exactly the same so I venture to say that he did use the KJV. Hope it helps. I use these commentaries a lot and I'm not a Bible scholar, but I nevertheless enjoy his works very much.

YES MATTHEW HENRY DOES USE THE KING JAMES VERSION, YOU WILL ENJOY THIS COMMENTARY SET VERY MUCH!

Yes, it uses King James Version. It was written in the 1600's and Praise the Lord that's the only version there was, very unlike today when there are many, many perversions.

Yes, most of the commentaries compiled prior to the 20th century used the original KJV. I personally like these commentaries better than their newer counterparts.

Yes.

Yes. This is a complete and unabridged set. Your welcome!

I just received my set of Matthew Henry's Commentary and it is in fact Complete and Unabridged.

yes

Yes, the fly-leaf to Volume 1 states: "Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible; "New Modern Edition"; "Complete and Unabridged in Six Volumes".

It is not small print. The font size is about eight or nine. I have no problem reading it and I use 250 reading glasses.

I do not have a problem with the print but it is not large print. I don't think the average person who wears bifocals would have any problem.

Small print and single spacing are a problem and glasses, or magnifying glass, are necessary for some users.

No. I'm half blind and I can read the text. I use reading glasses to read everything, and have no problem with the text as long as I'm wearing my glasses. The amount of content will amaze you, I promise. ENJOY.

I use readers to read and I had no problem

Skip, the publishing date on the commentaries is 1991.

This edition was first printed in 1991, is now in the 10th re-print.

Anna, I have both and the six volumns are at least 3X the size and weight, but more comprehensive. Not ideally portable.

Individual volumes are very portable and much smaller than your one volume edition (assuming you have the unabridged volume).

Hi Josephine. I'm finding I need my glasses more and more for reading small print. The print in Henry's six-volume Commentary is less than 11 point, perhaps 8 or 9 is my guess. But it is a friendly font with good letter/page contrast and I'm still OK without my glasses. I like it enough though that I'd use glasses and maybe even a magnifying glass if need be.
This set is comprehensive and spans from Genesis through Revelation. Looks like every chapter is covered.

Hope this helps!

Josephine -- I can't tell you the type set but it is very small. I need my reading glasses.

It's written in english with a noticable 17th or 18th century dialect. It is a good resource.

Matthew Henry wrote this commentary about 300 years ago. He wrote it in the language of his time. However, it is SO MUCH easier to read than the KJV. So please don't let your fears stop you from purchasing this marvellous work. I can assure thee that thy soul shalt be blessed! LOL

The morden print is very easy to follow in terms of the Roman numerals
