| Re: | | To my opinion i will list 3 commenteries as the best and they are equally important to me.Listed in chronological order :
- Mathew Henry - Adam Clark - William Macdonald
Henry is a great calvinist bible expositor + Clark a great arminian methodist expositor can help you find a theological balance and powerful & deep insights in the word of God.
William Macdonald who was a well known teacher of plymouth brethren does a great job on rightly dividing the word of God, especially when the bible talks about deffrent dispensations,prophecies to be fulfilled, eschatology, end times,tribulation period, 1000 reign of Christ,ect, ect.
I have read very very little portions from the 3 mentioned teachers commentaries but it's my spiritual conviction they are some of the best bible expositors.

| Re: Lets talk about commentaries | | I also enjoy Matthew Henry's alot i have the one volume set and that's fine and portable too.Nelson also has a nice cheap one called the "King James Bible Commentary"I enjoy John Courson's commentaries two volumes old, one volume New Testament these are culled from His sermons very modern and practical.Barnes commentaries are great too.J.Vernon McGee's Thru the Bible series is fine and any of Alfred Edersheim's commentaries are good too!

I'm really blessed. The first time I was over at his house he pulled out boxes and started filling them with books. He gave me 65 books in all the first time that I was there -Andrew Murray, AW Tozer, Whitfield, Spurgeon, Wesley, Mueller, Reese Howell, Sadhu Sundar Singh, John Hyde etc.
Ever time I visit his house I recieve so much encouragement and blessing (and usually a book or two). _________________ Ian Smith

I have this
.its very disappointing. It sounds really good, but its just parts of sermons by Wesley in which he may have mentioned the verse you want to get comments on. Same with the Spurgeon part. _________________ TJ
