The Exegetical Labors of the Reverend Matthew Poole Volume 78
" Y]ou will find in Poole's Synopsis a marvellous collection of all the wisdom ... of the critics.... Query--a query for which I will not demand an answer--has one of you ever beaten the dust from the venerable copy of Poole which loads our library shelves? Yet as Poole spent no less than ten years in compiling it, it should be worthy of your frequent notice.... Matthew Poole also wrote Annotations upon the Word of God, in English, which are mentioned by Matthew Henry ... and he not only highly praises them, but declares that he has in his own work all along been brief upon that which Mr. Poole has more largely discussed, and has industriously declined what is to be found there.... On the whole, if I must have only one commentary, and had read Matthew Henry as I have, I do not know but what I should choose Poole. He is a very prudent and judicious commentator..." Spurgeon's Commenting and Commentaries.
Matthew Poole
Matthew Poole (162479), author of the famous Synopsis Criticorum Biblicum, was a seventeenth century ecclesiastical leader, nonconformist, apologist, and minister in England. Poole is best remembered for his Synopsis in the scholarly Latin tongue, and the English language Annotations upon the Holy Bible (the modern day A Commentary on the Holy Bible) written for the layperson. These works were highly valued by such divines as Charles Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards. Poole began his literary life by submitting to publication a significant treatise against John Biddles writings on the Holy Spirit. He also gave his name to the endorsement of two published tracts: one against the Quakers and the other an evangelistic appeal upon the occasion of a notorious murderer in London. Learn more about Pooles fascinating life and the numerous controversies in which he was engaged. The controversy that consumed most of his energy and time was his argument against the infallibility of the Roman Catholic Church, saying that Catholics have no grounding for their faith and that Protestants have a very firm grounding for faith in the Scriptures.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy Bible
Perhaps the only true rival to Matthew Henry! Charles Spurgeon said, If I must have only one commentary, and had read Matthew Henry as I have, I do not know but what I should choose Poole. He is a very prudent and judicious commentator . . . not so pithy and witty by far as Matthew Henry, but he is perhaps more accurate, less a commentator, and more an expositor.
A Seasonable Apology for the Christian Religion
The Christian religion is justified of her children. This means that it is: 1. Justified from the censures of its enemies, and 2. Justified from the infirmities and miscarriages of its friends. If a doctor prescribes an excellent remedy, and the patient observes some of the instruction but neglects the others, and the remedy doesn't hold, no blame should rest on the doctor or his practice - but the blame should reside entirely with the patient. So, it is also with religion. Religion itself remains innocent, and must be considered on its own. Learn more of Poole's compelling argument and why he thought it was a timely argument in his day - and how it is in ours as well.
Commenting and Commentaries
The student or pastor with a small but growing library, as well as the pastor possessing an extensive one, will welcome the opportunity to secure this reprint of Spurgeon's catalog of Biblical commentaries and expositions. Once you begin to dip into this volume it will become a faithful friend by your side. Worth its weight in gold! ""New commentaries on the Bible abound, but often the cutting edge is dull. With few exceptions, the old works are better by far. Spurgeon's Commenting and Commentaries is invaluable for identifying the best works of past generations, many of which have been reprinted in our day."" - Dr. Robert P. Martin Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was an English Baptist preacher and author. Among his many publications are The Heart of the Gospel, Immeasurable Love, and The Saint and His Saviour.
