Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary an abdridged version of the more detailed 6 volume [[Bible]] Commentary originally created by [[Matthew Henry]]. This work as well as the full version of the Matthew Henry's Bible Commentary are in the public domain and are available for download from many sources on the internet including CCEL.

Henry's reputation rests upon his renowned commentary, An Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-10, known also as Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible). He lived to complete it only as far as to the end of the Acts, but after his death other like-minded authors prepared the remainder from Henry's manuscripts. This work was long celebrated as the best English commentary for devotional purposes and the expanded edition was initially published in 1896. Instead of critical exposition, Henry focuses on practical suggestion, and his commentaries contains rich stores of truths. There is also a smaller devotional commentary on the Bible from Henry known as Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary.
