''The Exposition of the Old and New Testaments'', commonly referred to as ''Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible'' (and sometimes referred to as ''Matthew Henry’s Complete Commentary''), was used by many who helped to bring about the [[First Great Awakening]] in the 1700s. Henry's commentary stands in enduring contrast to the ethos of [[liberal Christianity]] against the [[Bible]] - its author, its purity, its infallibility - and about the divinity of [[Jesus Christ]], which even then was being promoted in certain educational institutions; to this day it remains one of the most popular and respected of commentaries. | ''The Exposition of the Old and New Testaments'', commonly referred to as ''Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible'' (and sometimes referred to as ''Matthew Henry’s Complete Commentary''), was used by many who helped to bring about the [[First Great Awakening]] in the 1700s.
