Summary
The subject volume one is part of a six-volume set. It is a verse-by-verse or section-by-section commentary on the Bible, and the aim of the volumes is to explain the text of the Bible. In volume one, it concentrates on explaining Genesis through to Deuteronomy, with practical applications and theological reflections. Henry’s aim was to illuminate Scripture for lay readers and ministers, emphasising practical piety and sound doctrine. The work is characteristic for its devotional tone combined with doctrinal notes.
