5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE, July 1, 1999
By A Customer
One can not say enough about this wonderful commentary on the Bible. Many wonderful insights about the Scriptures are offered in this commentary. It was written by a man who was not only a scholar, but one who had a genuine relationship with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very thought provoking commentary, February 17, 2001
Adam Clarke's commentary is very unique. He believed in total sanctification and makes a very cogent argument for it. He is very scholarly , but very accessible. He takes the greek words and shows what they meant in greek works, like the Iliad,etc. He was not afraid to change the meaning of a verse when he thought that verse was inconsistent with the corpus of orthodoxy and to me, at least, it gives a much different interpretation than what i was taught..but he always backs up his interpretations with lucid commentary..would highly recommend..a definite call to holiness.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shame On This Abridgement!, January 2, 2003
By A Customer
As a student of the Bible for the past ten years, I've read some of the finest commentaries from the world's greatest scholars. One thing I noticed early on is that almost every writer quoted Dr.Adam Clarke and made reference to his Bible commentary. The information always quoted was to say the least, inspiring and insightful, so, I knew one day I would have to own Dr. Clarke's great commentary on the Bible. The unfortunate news of that the abridger, Ralph Earle, has removed extremely important information such as the correct order of chapters of the book of Jeremiah which is NOT the way it appears in our current Old Testament, and the 39 verses in 1 Samuel which are of doubtful authenticity and which didn't appear in the original text. I gave three stars to give praise to Dr. Clarke for being one of the world's greatest Biblical scholars, but not five stars because of the unacceptable, irresponsible job done by abridger, Ralph Earle. Perhaps we should all seek out hard-to-find copies of the original work, or purchase the unabriged version on CD-Rom. A word to the wise: stay away from abridgements! Biblical students are the loser here thanks to this abridgment.
