Matthew Henry: The Bible, Prayer, and Piety– A Tercentenary Celebration
No full textThree hundred years after his death, Matthew Henry (1662–1714) remains arguably the best known expositor of the Bible in English, due to his six-volume Exposition of the Old and New Testaments. However, Henry’s famous commentary is by no means the only expression of his engagement with the Scriptures. His many sermons and works on Christian piety — including the still popular Method for Prayer — are saturated with his peculiarly practical approach to the Bible.
To mark the tercentenary of Henry’s death, Matthew A. Collins and Paul Middleton have brought together notable historians, theologians, and biblical scholars to celebrate his life and legacy. Representing the first serious examination of Henry’s body of work and approach to the Bible, Matthew Henry: The Bible, Prayer, and Piety opens a scholarly conversation on Matthew Henry’s place in the eighteenth-century nonconformist movement, his contribution to the interpretation of the Bible, and his continued legacy in evangelical piety

Matthew Henry: The Bible, Prayer, and Piety – A Tercentenary Celebration
No full textThe summer of 2014 marked the tercentenary of the death of Matthew Henry (1662–1714), a leading figure among early eighteenth-century Dissenters and author of the six-volume Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1707–1714/25). This monumental work, which by 1855 had already been published in twenty-five different editions, attempted a peculiarly practical approach to the biblical text and continues to be widely used and readily accessible even today in both print and online versions. The theme of foreign (or ‘strange’) wives and Israelite intermarriage is one which occurs throughout the Hebrew Bible and, accordingly, throughout Matthew Henry’s commentary upon it. Where it appears, the practice of intermarriage is characterized by Henry as (at best) unwise and (at worst) a very real threat to both social and religious cohesion. This essay explores how Henry deals with the issue of ‘strange wives’, why he believes they continue to pose a threat, and (in view of the overall intention of his commentary) what ‘practical observations’ he offers to his reader as a result. In doing so it is argued that Henry’s commentary traces a thematic thread from the ante-diluvian age to the post-exilic period of calamities resulting from mixed marriages between ‘professors of religion’ and their ‘strange wives’

PENAFSIRAN MANNA DAN SALWA PERSPEKTIF IBNU KATSIR DAN MATTHEW HENRY
Full text linkPenelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perbandingan antara dua perspektif agama yang berbeda dalam menafsirkan konsep yang sama. Ibnu Katsir mewakili tafsir dalam tradisi Islam, sementara Matthew Henry adalah seorang teolog Kristen. Perbandingan ini penting karena dapat membuka pemahaman yang lebih luas tentang persamaan dan perbedaan pandangan antara dua agama besar mengenai peristiwa sejarah yang sama (pemberian manna dan salwa kepada Bani Israel). Tafsir Ibnu Katsir muncul pada tahun 1342 H dan buku Commentary on the Whole Bible pada tahun 1710 H, jarak turunnya Al-Qur’an dengan tafsir Ibnu Katsir sekitar 1.200 tahun, sedangkan jarak antara Alkitab dengan buku Comentary muncul sekitar 1.600 tahun, untuk itu penulis berkeinginan untuk meneliti lebih dalam. Disini penulis mengambil rumusan masalah 1. Bagaimana penafsiran manna dan salwa perspektif Ibnu Katsir dan Matthew Henry? 2. Apa persamaan dan perbedaan penafsiran manna dan salwa perspektif Ibnu Katsir dan Matthew Henry?
Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif, teori Language Ferdinand de Saussure inilah yang digunakan untuk membandingkan penafsiran manna dan salwa perspektif Ibnu Katsir dan Matthew Henry. Pertama makna manna dan salwa fersi agama Islam dan yang kedua makna manna dan salwa dalam agama Kristen. Buku yang digunakan peneliti ialah tafsir Ibnu Katsir dan Commentary on the Whole Bible.
Hasil pembahasan penelitian ini ada dua, pertama mengenai makna manna dan salwa perspektif Ibnu katsir dan Matthew Henry, kedua persamaan dan perbedaan manna dan salwa perspektif Ibnu Katsir dan Matthew Henry. Ibnu Katsir menjelaskan bahwa manna adalah sejenis makanan yang turun dari langit, mirip dengan embun yang kemudian mengering dan menjadi manis. Menurutnya, manna ini adalah makanan yang dihasilkan dari pohon tertentu yang tumbuh di padang pasir dan memiliki rasa manis yang lezat. Salwa adalah sejenis burung yang disebut juga dengan puyuh. Ibnu Katsir mengutip riwayat yang mengatakan bahwa salwa adalah burung yang turun ke tanah, dan Bani Israel bisa menangkapnya untuk dimakan. Sedangkan menurut Matthew Henry manna adalah makanan yang diberikan oleh Tuhan kepada Bani Israel yang berbentuk seperti roti atau biji kecil yang turun dari langit, dan memiliki rasa yang manis. Salwa adalah burung puyuh, yang merupakan burung migran yang banyak ditemukan di wilayah padang gurun di Timur Tengah. Burung ini turun dalam jumlah yang besar dan sangat mudah untuk ditangkap oleh Bani Israel. Persamaan dan perbedaan manna dan salwa, Ibnu Katsir dan Matthew Henry mengindikasikan bahwa manna sebuah makanan yang harus diproses digiling atau dipanggang, sedangkan salwa adalah burung yang sangat mudah untuk ditangkap dan dimasak.
Perbedaannya, menurut Ibnu Katsir, manna adalah makanan manis yang tampaknya berasal dari tanaman atau embun yang mengering di padang gurun, sedangkan Matthew Henry menggambarkan manna lebih sebagai roti langit
