Matthew Poole (1624-1679) was an English Non-Conformist preacher, author, and theologian. He is best known for his commentary on the Bible. As with Matthew Henry, I most often shorthand Annotations Upon the Holy Bible simply as Matthew Poole’s commentary. However, also like Matthew Henry, Matthew Poole died before he completed his work. Poole finished the English Annotations from Genesis 1 through Isaiah 58 before his died in 1679. Friends and colleagues completed annotations on the rest of the books of the Bible . Editors Samuel Clark and Edward Veale later added chapter outlines. Poole’s “death prevented his going farther than the 58th Ch. of Is.” According to Edmund Calamy, the other authors completing the Annotations were:
- Isaiah 59-60 – Mr. [John] Jackson of Moulsey
- Isaiah 61-66, Jeremiah, Lamentations, the Gospels, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Revelation – Dr. [John] Collinges
- Ezekiel, Minor Prophets – Mr. [Henry] Hurst
- Daniel – Mr. [William] Cooper
- Acts – Mr. [Peter] Vinke
- Romans – Mr. [Richard] Mayo
- Ephesians, James, 1 and 2 Peter, Jude – Mr. [Edward] Veale
- Philippians, Colossians – Mr. [Richard] Adams
- 1 and 2 Thessalonians – Mr. [Matthew] Barker
- Hebrews – Mr. [Obadiah] Hughes
- 1, 2 and 3 John – Mr. [John] Howe
