Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Entire Bible

Adam Clarke's monumental commentary on the Bible has been a standard reference work for over a century and has been widely used by men of all evangelical denominations. Its thorough and authoritative scholarship has been recognized by Arminians and Calvinists alike, and has won for the author the accolade, "Prince of Commentators."

The eminent British scholar began his work on the commentary with the New Testament on May 1, 1798. This section was first published in 1810. Though hampered by failing eyesight, Clarke continued with his work on the Old Testament, which he completed March 28, 1825. The entire commentary in eight volumes was published the following year.

Clarke spent the rest of his life in revising his original work. At the close of Revelation he inscribed these words: "Finished correcting for a new edition, Jan. 9, 1832." Only a few months later he passed away.

In this abridgment of the standard six-volume work, the actual words of Adam Clarke have not been changed except to modernize the phrasing where appropriate. In a very few instances a word or so has been inserted in brackets to complete the sense when there was deletion of original text. Thus the great scholar is allowed to speak for himself. Only dated or extraneous material has been omitted. There was also the elimination of the scripture text itself.
