Wordsworth New Testament Commentary (a free download)

An old commentary republished.

Dear Friends,

A number of years ago I went hunting for old Bible Commentaries and resources that were in the public domain. One of the gems I found was Wordsworth’s Greek New Testament Commentary, originally published from 1856-1860. (As far as I can tell, these works were never republished.) I self-published the edition which included Paul’s Epistles for myself some years ago, and have worked from the PDF of the General Epistles for a long time.

It occurred to me a few months ago (and I was thinking of preparing the Gospels commentary from my personal use), “Hey, I’ll bet more people would like to use these.” So we’ve prepared these for you as well.

Here’s the background.

Christopher Wordsworth (nephew of William Wordsworth) was an Anglican Bishop, hymn writer, and Bible Scholar. From 1856-1860 is published four volumes commenting on all the books of the New Testament.
