Matthew Henry, 1662-1714, was a lover of the Bible from his early years. After schooling in London, he was ordained in 1687 and pastored in England for twenty-five years. At home each morning, Matthew Henry conducted family prayers and an exposition from the Old Testament. Each evening, he held prayers alongside an exposition from the New Testament. These very expositions are likely the basis of his Complete Commentary.

G. Campbell Morgan understood the unity and connectedness of every part of the Bible, sharing this understanding through his Analyzed Bible. "Telescopic" in nature, his study focused on the structure of the Bible in broad strokes, leaving others to plumb the depths of individual verses and chapters.

Under Campbell's expert guidance, readers can walk through this soaring panorama of Scripture, gaining the overall contextual understanding of each book's unique place in the whole of Scripture. Each analysis begins with a clearly charted outline, followed by further detail and discussion of the major conceptual divisions contained within that section.

The Analyzed Bible study system lays a solid foundation to understand how the beautiful redemption story of Scripture unfolds. It sets the perfect stage for later study by providing the users a deep grasp of the scope, context, content, and outline of the Bible as a whole.

George Campbell Morgan (1863 - 1945) pastored Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and again from 1933 to 1943 where he mentored Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who would succeed him in the Westminster pulpit.

Morgan had no formal training for ministry, but his commitment to study and teaching of the Word led to his popularity, with thousands in attendance at his weekly Bible classes. In his many trips from his native England to America, Morgan was invited to lecture at Moody Bible Institute and teach at Biola. In 1902 he was given a Doctor of Divinity degree by the Chicago Theological Seminary.

Morgan was a prolific writer, with many works published both during his lifetime and after his death. His most influential essay, The Purposes of the Incarnation, was included in a collection of works called The Fundamentals which is considered to be the spark of the modern Fundamentalist movement.

About the Author

Martin Luther, 1483-1546, was a principal figure in the Protestant Reformation. From his beginnings as an Augustinian monk, God used Luther’s theological mind and bold spirit to encourage the church to specifically align with the Biblical principle of justification by faith alone. While his efforts stirred up backlash and rebellions, it was ultimately used by God to shine the light of His Word back into the hearts of His people and forever shape Christianity.

Excerpt from the Text

It is an unspeakable privilege to be permitted in any small degree to minister to the souls of those who are so precious to Christ. “Lovest thou me?... Feed my sheep." Such were the touching words of the departing Shepherd; and, assuredly, when they fall powerfully upon the heart, they must rouse all the energies of one's moral being to carry out, in every possible way, the gracious desire breathed therein. To gather and to feed the lambs and sheep of the flock of Christ are the most exalted services in which any one can be engaged. Not a single honest effort put forth for the achievement of such noble ends will be forgotten in that day "when the Chief Shepherd shall appear." —Preface
