Barnes' Notes on the New Testament

What I ordered is not what I received

If you are looking for an excellent verse-by-verse commentary on the New Testament, this is a great book. The background information is very helpful. There is a lot of cross-referencing throughout the commentary, which is great. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite commentaries, but the Kindle version does not have a working table of contents which renders it completely useless.

God is not partial in revealing his Word to people after the apostles time. Textus receptus in which KJV based on is very accurate. God has preserved his Word for centuries tru churches. The new discoveries of MSS in modern time which were rejected by early church fathers are fake. The older the MSS, the less reliable they are. God would never had hidden his Word for more than 1800 years before they were revealed by modern day schloras. The old time commentators were candid, spiritual minded christians and devotional in writing style. Nothing can be added to God Word from outside. The old commentary sets such as of Matthew Henry's, Matthew Poole's, John Gill"s and Barne's notes are all reliable and very safe to read. I love these commentary sets so much

Albert Barnes' Notes on the New Testament should be on every preacher's library shelf. This is a treasure trove of good Biblical scholarship and sermon material on the New Testament. While not as stimulating or controversial (creative?) as many of the modern critical commentaries, Barnes' commentaries gives us that refreshingly reverent and Biblical presentation of truths so lacking in today's books and pulpits. This present volume collects the original 11 volume set in one handy and affordable book (with really tiny print!). If, like me, you are a little tired of all those critical scholars who deconstruct everything you thought you once believed in, then you'll find this volume a breath of fresh air - and a good reminder of how our grandfathers used to handle the Word of God in such a reverent, humble and believing manner.

Albert Barnes Notes on the New Testament is a must for any library. He exposits the Scripture better than any modern theologian. If you want to write better sermons or if you just want to grow in the Lord this is worth the read.
