Today Dec 17th Arrived. I've already gone through the 1st page of Genesis. And yes, the aren't kidding when they say print is very small. I expected a bit smaller then my 5 different versions of my ministers Bible, but it is smaller then that. No problem at all with a magnifying glass. My reading glasses don't do it. But definitely not a problem with my magnifying glass.

Being over 65 with AOD from my time in the Army in 1966, I spend a lot of time in and out of the V.A. Hospital. That is the main reason for my purchase of the single volume. My wheelchair backpack won't hold 6 volumes and a Bible, but will hold the single volume, magnifying glass, and a Bible. I'm expecting the 6 Volumes to arrive tomorrow and will leave a review on them.

I can see why they wrote the single volume in the NIV Version, but I believe as thick as it is if they went with a couple more hundred pages they might have been able to go with a larger type, and the KJV. Although I have no problem going from the NIV Single version to the 6 volume KJV for easier reading at home. So if you don't mind reading with a magnifying glass or the fluorescent light magnifier, you will be happy with the single volume.

This has to be the most complete commentary I've ever owned. I will use it often! Matthew Henry's words are very simple to understand and his commentary on scripture is precise. Great for home study or students. The print is very small, but I don't believe there is any other way to accomodate the large amount of material into one volume. If that's a problem, one should purchase the multi-volume set.

a must have in every Christians library

I have always liked the depth of Matthew Henry's commentary and the detail yet the language is easy to comprehend. I have had may "AHA moments". I purchased one for myself and one as a gift and I made a very wise choice. I highly recommned it! svt

I had always wished that I had Matthew Henry's commentary, but the cost plus the bulkiness of four volumes was a drawback for me. This compact book at a very reasonable price was desirable for me.
