5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Parallel Commentary on Classic Works, July 23, 2007

This review is from: Parallel Classic Commentary on the Psalms (Hardcover)

I picked this up at a local bookstore and immediately I fell in love with it. It features a side by side commentary of the whole book of Psalms in one volume. On the left hand column is the King James Version of the Psalm, and then adjacent to it on the right are the commentary by Charles Spurgeon, John Calvin, and Matthew Henry respectively. These commentaries by each preacher are the edited versions. The print is equivalent to "9" font -- so it might be on the small side for some people, but I found it to be quite legible.

You can't go wrong with the classic expositions by such notable Bible scholars and preachers such as Spurgeon, Calvin, and Henry. If you don't like the edited version, you may want to go for the complete version of Spurgeon, Calvin, and Henry, but then you'll have to lug a whole basketful of books. I found this to be just right for me, in a very handy volume. Highly recommended!!
