Summary: A response to Brian Davidson
Comment: I dispute the reading that he has given (Peace on Earth and good will toward all men on whom God's favor rests)for it is incorrect.This reading is from the corrupt Alexander Manuscripts and should be approached with caution. All modern translations except the King James Version, New King James Version, Geneva Bible, Tyndale Version, Noah Webster Bible and Young Literal Translationare are based on these mss, and should be avoided as they do not contain the word of God; but heresy. (See my article on the Alexandrian Manuscripts at my website www.textcritic.org for more details). The correct reading is the one found in the Textus Receptus.

Summary: Arminian
Comment: Barnes is an Arminian, i.e. He does not believe in protestant reformed theology, as taught by Martin Luther, John Calvin and all the great names of the reformation. As such I can't recommend this book, I consider the commentary very biased against the truth.

Summary: Best General Commentary
Comment: It has been over 20 years since I finished my studies, but a few books still hold fond memories. Of the many different commentary authors I've read, Barnes' Notes has always stood heads above all others. His writing is mellow, easy to read, not prone to unsubstantiated conjecture, reasonably thorough, and was obviously written by a person more interested in what the Bible said, not in pushing some belief. I highly recommend this set of commentaries for everyone interested in studying the Bible. I have a personal enjoyment for Calvin's works, but Barnes is not to be skipped over. A must-have.
