Henry Alford
(1810-1871)

(Read his fascinating brief biography - Henry Alford and Phil Johnson's related comments)
The New Testament for English Readers
2 Corinthians Commentary
Recommended

James Rosscup writes that Alford's series on the New Testament "contains much that is valuable in the Greek New Testament...though all of the Greek New Testament words have been changed to English throughout." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works or Logos)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (see his comments in following entry on Alford).

Editorial Note: If you are not proficient in Greek, you will find this work considerably more useful than the following work by Alford, because in this volume he translates the Greek and Latin into English. While the "The Greek New Testament" is longer (e.g., English version of 1John = 66 pages compared to Greek version = 94 pages in part because the latter includes comments of more technical nature), the substance of the commentary is otherwise similar to that found in the "NT for English Readers".

Henry Alford
The Greek New Testament
2 Corinthians
Commentary
Recommended

James Rosscup writes that "This was the great work in the life of the versatile Dean of Canterbury. An outcome of this production was the New Testament for English Readers (4 vols.). Alford was a Calvinist, conservative and premillennial, though not dispensational. He takes a literal interpretation of the thousand years in Rev. 20 and has a famous quote there, is strong on sovereign election as in Ro 8:29, 30 and 1Pe 1:2, but, unfortunately, holds to baptismal regeneration in such texts as Titus 3:5 and John 3:5. He shows a great knowledge of the Greek text and faces problems of both a doctrinal and textual nature." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works or Logos)

John Piper writes ""When I’m stumped with a...grammatical or syntactical or logical [question] in Paul, I go to Henry Alford. Henry Alford...comes closer more consistently than any other human commentator to asking my kinds of questions."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon writes that this text "is an invaluable aid to the critical study of the text of the New Testament. You will find in it the ripened results of a matured scholarship, the harvesting of a judgment, generally highly impartial, always worthy of respect, which has gleaned from the most important fields of Biblical research, both modern and ancient, at home and abroad. You will not look here for any spirituality of thought or tenderness of feeling; you will find the learned Dean does not forget to do full justice to his own views, and is quite able to express himself vigorously against his opponents; but for what it professes to be, it is an exceedingly able and successful work. The later issues are by far the most desirable, as the author has considerably revised the work in the fourth edition. What I have said of his Greek Testament applies equally to Alford’s New Testament for English Readers,* which is also a standard work." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

Albert Barnes
Commentary on 2 Corinthians
Notes on the New Testament

James Rosscup writes that Barnes "includes 16 volumes on the Old Testament, 11 on the New Testament. The New Testament part of this old work was first published in 1832–1851. Various authors contributed. It is evangelical and amillennial...Often the explanations of verses are very worthwhile." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works or Logos)

C H Spurgeon "Albert Barnes is a learned and able divine, but his productions are unequal in value, the gospels are of comparatively little worth, but his other comments are extremely useful for Sunday-school teachers and persons with a narrow range of reading, endowed with enough good sense to discriminate between good and evil....Placed by the side of the great masters, Barnes is a lesser light, but taking his work for what it is and professes to be, no minister can afford to be without it, and this is no small praise for works which were only intended for Sunday-school teachers." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

Johann A Bengel
Commentary on 2 Corinthians
Gnomon of the New Testament
Index to Mt-Rev Chapter by Chapter

James Rosscup writes "This work (Gnomon), originally issued in 1742, has considerable comment on the Greek, flavoring the effort with judicious details about the spiritual life. It has much that helps, but has been surpassed by many other commentaries since its day." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works or Logos)

Johann Bengel
Commentary on 2 Corinthians
The Critical English Testament
Similar to above but less Greek
Short Pithy Comments
Index to Mt-Rev Chapter by Chapter

C H Spurgeon -- "'A Critical New Testament, so compiled as to enable a reader, unacquainted with Greek, to ascertain the exact English force and meaning of the language of the New Testament, and to appreciate the latest results of modern criticism.' Such is the professed aim of this commentary, and the compilers have very fairly carried out their intentions. The whole of Bengel’s Gnomon is bodily transferred into the work, and as one hundred and twenty years have elapsed since the first issue of that book, it may be supposed that much has since been added to the wealth of Scripture exposition; the substance of this has been incorporated in brackets, so as to bring it down to the present advanced state of knowledge. We strongly advise the purchase of this book, as it is multum in parvo, and will well repay an attentive perusal. Tischendorf and Alford have contributed largely, with other German and English critics, to make this one of the most lucid and concise commentaries on the text and teachings of the New Testament" (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

2nd Corinthians: Authentic Christianity -
30 Daily Devotionals for September

1st Why Does It Hurt So Much? (2 Corinthians 1:1-7) — In times of grief and troubles, do we find significance and comfort in knowing we are being equipped to serve others for Jesus' sake?

 

2nd The Sentence Of Death (2 Corinthians 1:8-11) — Are we counting on our living Lord to accomplish what He wants to do through us, or are we frustrating and exhausting ourselves with our self-reliance and self-effort?

 

3rd When You Are Misunderstood (2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4) — God always says yes to to what He has promised. How well do we understand His promises? How faithful are we to keep the promises and commitments we make?

 

4th Forgiveness: When Discipline Ends (2 Corinthians 2:5-11) — Do we abort God's gift of forgiveness by failing to extend forgiveness to others as He forgave us? When we do forgive, do we also seek to forget the offense?

 

5th Who Is Sufficient? (2 Corinthians 2:12-17) — When our thoughts and feelings are burdened and anguished to feebleness, can we let the light and power of the Spirit of Christ demonstrate His sufficiency through us?

 

6th Do You Have What It Takes? (2 Corinthians 3:1-6) — What is one of the most important truths in the Word of God missing in the church across the world? Can we clearly explain the different life in the new covenant?

 

7th A Fading Glory (2 Corinthians 3:7-11) — Is God's grace an embarrassment, or do we see the transcendent glory of relying completely on Him to give us value, and give us peaceful rest from self-effort?

 

8th Freedom To Remove The Mask (2 Corinthians 3:12-18) — Are we truly free to admit and look at our nature and capacity for evil? Do we wrongly rely on self-effort to overcome it? How does a growing freedom in Christ change us?
 

9th Nothing But The Truth (2 Corinthians 4:1-4) — Where and how can we strip off all the veils of illusions and delusions to see the truth about ourselves, about our lives, and about the world in which we live?
 

10th From Darkness To Light (2 Corinthians 4:5-6) — When we read the written Word of God, are we expecting to see the Person who is the Living Word? Where do we find the light of the glory of God?
 

11th The Life Of Jesus In Mortal Bodies (2 Corinthians 4:7-15) — Are we being so changed by our relationship with Christ that others who are in our lives see the glory of His character? How can we share in the dying of Jesus?
 

12th Beyond The End (2 Corinthians 4:16-5:5) — Have we forgotten the expectation and hope of our glorious future, for body, soul and spirit?
 

13th What's There To Live For? (2 Corinthians 5:6-17) — Is the love of Christ the controlling motivation of our lives? Are we experiencing the self-liberating control of His love?
 

14th The Word For The Hour (2 Corinthians 5:18-6:2) — What is God's message of reconciliation to our deep-seated sense of alienation and estrangement from Him? Are we carriers of that message?
 

15th Sensible Fanaticism (2 Corinthians 6:3-10) — Following Jesus is a radical, other-worldly calling. If we were accused of being truly Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict us?
 

16th The Reciprocity Of Love (2 Corinthians 6:11-13) — Transparent communication stretches us and makes us vulnerable. Are we learning to be open-hearted to all, and thereby loving, for Christ's sake and by His power?
 

17th The Unequal Yoke (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) — Are we free from all men, yet servants of all? Do any of our relationships inhibit our freedom to love and obey God with all our heart, soul, and mind?
 

18th How To Repent (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) — Godly repentance cleanses and liberates us. Do we keep the door of repentance open to God's saving grace in us and through us?
 

19th Grace And Giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-15) — Jesus is our priceless Treasure. Are we learning to worship Him with all that we are and own? What may we be withholding from Him this day?
 

20th Giving Joyfully (2 Corinthians 8:16-9:15) — Grace-giving is a miracle that mirrors God's character. Are we therefore intent on knowing the Giver of such a radical gift?
 

21st Our Secret Weapons (2 Corinthians 10:1-6) —  For every Christian, spiritual warfare is a given, whether engaged actively or passively. Are we alert to identify and engage our spiritual weaponry?
 

22nd The True Evaluation (2 Corinthians 10:7-18) — Do we resort to measuring and comparing ourselves with others? Are we finding contentment in simply serving as Christ's own beloved one?
 

23rd Godly Jealousy (2 Corinthians 11:1-2) — God is passionately jealous for the Good of His own people. Are we being freed from damaging our relationships with self-focused jealousy?
 

24th The Simplicity Of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3-15) — Are we getting side-tracked by the superficial and secondary? Do we need to return to the main menu: the exquisite simplicity of the Gospel?
 

25th How To Boast (2 Corinthians 11:16-33) — Do we see the value of our failures as part of God's curriculum for training us in humble trust? Do we trust Him to redeem our failures?
 

26th Strength In Weakness (2 Corinthians 12:1-10) — Are we aware of the peril of spiritual pride? Can we receive our weakness and incompetence as a path to God's power at work in us?
 

27th The Remarkable Paradox (2 Corinthians 12:11-13) — Do we have growing confidence in the power and Presence of Christ in us, so that self-esteem is becoming a non-issue?
 

28th The Mark Of A True Servant (2 Corinthians 12:14-13:4) — God's love in Christ for us is immeasurable. Are we choosing to be living statements of that quality of love? Or do we put price tag on our relationships?
 

29th How To Examine Yourself (2 Corinthians 13:5-10) — How can we know whether we have true faith? What is the Evidence that we can really know and that others can see? What about when doubt strikes?

 

30th A Word Of Peace (2 Corinthians 13:11-14) — When faced with stressful divisiveness, quarreling, and/or jealousy in our personal & corporate lives, how and why can we remain friendly, loving, open, and forgiving?

DISCLAIMER: Before you "go to the commentaries" go to the Scriptures and study them inductively (Click here for 3 part overview of how to do Inductive Bible Study) in dependence on your Teacher, the Holy Spirit, Who Jesus promised would guide us into all the truth (John 16:13). Remember that Scripture is always the best commentary on Scripture. Any commentary, even those by the most conservative and orthodox teacher/preachers cannot help but have at least some bias of the expositor based upon his training and experience. Therefore the inclusion of specific links does not indicate that we agree with every comment. We have made a sincere effort to select only the most conservative, "bibliocentric" commentaries. Should you discover some commentary or sermon you feel may not be orthodox, please email your concern. I have removed several links in response to concerns by discerning readers. I recommend that your priority be a steady intake of solid Biblical food so that with practice you will have your spiritual senses trained to discern good from evil (Hebrews 5:14 - note).
