Albert Barnes and James Murphy wrote this 14-volume commentary on the entire Bible (KJV), verse-by-verse from Genesis through Revelation. Published in the 1800s, it is still well-loved and well-read by evangelicals who appreciate Barnes' pastoral insights into the Scripture. It is not a technical work, but provides informative observations on the text, intended to be helpful to those teaching Sunday School. Today, it is ideally suited to anyone teaching or preaching the Word of God, whether a professional minister or layperson.
From the Preface to the Print Edition
The Original Preface to the Notes on the Gospels states that "The object [of these Notes] has been to express, in as few words as possible, the real meaning of Gospels; the results of their critical study, rather than the process by which these results were reached...It was my wish to present to Sunday-school teachers a plain and simple explanation of the more common difficulties of the book which it is their province to teach. This wish has given character to the work...The main design of these notes will be accomplished if they furnish a just explanation of the text..."
