Bound in a handsome full calf binding by Riviere. 

Complete in six volumes.

New editions, with the author’s final corrections.

A complete set of Adam Clarke’s influential Bible with commentary, containing the Old and New Testaments with marginal readings, parallel texts, and extensive critical notes intended to support a fuller understanding of scripture.

This commentary, which took Clarke forty years to complete, was a primary Methodist theological resource for two centuries. Clarke followed Wesley in opposing a Calvinistic scheme of salvation, and considered Scripture itself a miracle of God's grace that "takes away the veil of darkness and ignorance."

Adam Clarke (1762-1832) was a leading Methodist theologian and biblical scholar whose commentary became foundational for 19th-century English biblical studies; this “new edition” is the final authorised form of his work.
