Talk:Matthew Henry

Should not read like a book review
I take issue with the phrase "its unfailing good sense, its discriminating thought, its high moral tone, its simple piety and its practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its racy English style, made it one of the best works of its type." Even if there are sources who have made such claims, they need to be cited and the language of the article changed to reflect who has made these appraisals, whether it is a majority consensus, as well as if the appraisals are current. This is not simply a matter of tacking on some references; there needs to be some re-working to make this more professional. JECompton 03:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Once again, that language is directly from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, the original source of the article. Feel free to improve. --Rpresser 23:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

How is Matthew Henry and Philip Henry related to Alexander Henry the Elder?

On the papacy
How are the latter comments about the "son of perdition" relevant or approaching a NPOV? If the article is going to pursue Henry's arguments (assuming that's whose arguments these are), it should thoroughly examine those arguments and place them against counter-arguments and/or critiques. Otherwise this feels irrelevant in its specificity, along with feeling like it was written by an apologist for Henry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by C.l.schwab (talk • contribs) 18:50, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

The title of his complete commentary ends with the word "Testament" (singular)
It looks to me like the title of Matthew Henry's complete commentary ends with the word "Testament" (singular), not "Testaments" (plural). Reference:
