Commentary

From the Webmaster

12/18/2024 I am converting all of the zipped mySword modules on this site to straight *.bok.mybible formats. If you visit us from a cell phone, you do not have to unzip these files. I am also changing the format somewhat. I am getting away from individual descriptions, and just making library lists where you can directly download the files.
If you come across a post that doesn't have a download link, please post a note to me in the comments of that post (no download), and I will try to get the file uploaded and linked to that post. We have had glitches in the past, and some posts lost their downloads. Basically, I am taking down all posts (650 posts on the site), and checking each one to see if they have their download, and if not adding it. Most do not. Once I take it down, it will repost (1 per day) until I am caught up and can work on new posts. Note that MySword reads theWord modules and esword modules now, so use them if you have them. Check these sites twmodules.com and eswordlibrary.com
If you can use these mysword modules in your Christian life and ministry, I need a big favor from you. I need you to pray for me. I sustain this website alone, out of my own living expense money. The Google Adsense ads have been adding to my income at the rate of 5 US cents per day for Google Adsense Ads as a daily total on 32 of my sites, all of them combined earn me a nickel per day except on bad days when it is less. I have been hacked continually, and these sites breakdown or are hacked, so I need your prayers. Please pray that God would protect this labor of love. If you cannot donate, please pray for me at least.

Clarke, Adam – Commentary

Adam Clarke Commentary(1762-1832)

A good commentary by a Methodist minister.

Adam Clarke was the most famous commentator the Methodist Church ever produced. As a child he was judged to be rather dull; however, from about eight onward he began to excel in learning. Though his father was of the Church of England, and his mother a Presbyterian, he became a Methodist when he was about sixteen. As his studies progressed he became a master of both Hebrew and Greek, as well as several other languages. He was proficient in the Greek classics, patristic literature, and various disciplines of history and science.

The Epistles of St. John: 21 Discourses
By William Alexander, D.D., D.C.L.
Brasenose College, Oxford,
Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe.

(from The Expositor’s Bible) EDITED BY THE REV. SIR W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., LL.D.
Editor of “The Expositor”; etc.
SECOND THOUSAND.
HODDER AND STOUGHTON,
27, PATERNOSTER ROW.
MDCCCLXXXIX. (1889)

My first impression of this book is that it probably has great and tremendous information, but it is from “yester-year” and its form is difficult to get the jewels out of it. But this is a 25 chapter commentary on John’s Epistles, even though his treatment is not straight in the order of verses commented on. Continue reading →
