Iron Dramatist
I was poking around to see if I could get an updated Matthew Henry Commentary for my Bibleworks installation... and happened on this pathetic advice from the Luther Seminary wiki page:
The link for this fear-driven and otherwise ridiculous commentary on Matthew Henry's magnum opus is found here:
MatthewHenry < BibleWorks < LutherWiki
It's good to see how Henry is regarded by a mainline seminary so plain and simple. What pathetic pap. Got to make sure those impressionable mainline Lutheran pastor and pastorette candidates aren't influenced by the unfortunate Mr. Henry.
Turning off Matthew Henry
One of the resources set to show up when you are reading certain translations in BibleWorks is Matthew Henry's commentary. Matthew Henry lived in the 17th and early 18th centuries. As Wikipedia puts it, his work is "a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind." It is not an appropriate source for seminary study and it really irritates your professors to read quotes from it, as if the Rev. Henry were a famous scholar (or so I'm told).To make the Matthew Henry commentary disappear:
- In the Resource Summary Window choose Resource Summary tab.
- Then choose the References tab.
- Then remove the checkmark from Matthew Henry Commentary.
