Godbey's Bible Commentary
William B. Godbey was one of the most influential evangelists of the Wesleyan-holiness movement in its formative period (1880-1920). Thousands of people experienced conversion or entire sanctification under his ministry, and Godbey gained a reputation for having revivals everywhere he went.
A prolific author, he dictated over 230 books and pamphlets and wrote numerous articles for holiness periodicals. He produced a new translation of the New Testament in 1901, and published a seven-volume Commentary on the New Testament (1896-1900).
Godbey's publications, along with his preaching and "Bible lessons" at camp meetings, earned for the evangelist a widespread reputation among "holiness people" as the "Greek scholar" and "Bible commentator."
Through his publications and sermons, Godbey joined a limited number of other ministers who introduced premillennialism into the holiness movement.
Godbey was also one of the principal agents responsible for keeping the "tongues movement" out of the rest of the holiness movement.
Godbey encouraged large numbers of people to join the new holiness denominations, and through his preaching and publications shaped popular opinion on holiness and millenarian doctrines.

God Bless you this is wonderfull
It is very inspiring and comprehensive. No confusion. The interpretations are straight and exact. Just that some chapters are missing like Hebrews 6, is missing. Find solution to it
Am really blessed to come across such divine book. Wonderful,God bless all the team who made this happened.
Very Good literal translation.
William Godbey is one of those writers that says what the Bible says nd means what the Bible means. Mr. Godbey picks up and continues where Mr. Clarke and Mr. Wesley leave off, filling in valuable information so necessary to good and proper understanding which leaves no true seeker of God, short of receiving all the fullness of God and enterance into the kingdom of God. One question: why was the commentary on Galatians excluded? Thank y'all.
It emphasises on Holiness an that is the only thing that can grant us entrance into Heaven. I highly recommend it to all who really seek to enter heaven. I really love it!
THIS IS REAL WONDERFUL AND INSPIRATIONAL. VERY NICE AND UNDERSTANDABLE EXPLANATION'S FROM INDEED A SPIRIT FILLED AUTHOR. I AM REALLY BLESSED FOR COMING ACROSS SUCH BLESSING AS AN APP
A spirit-filled commentary by a spirit-filled author. Will truly excite those who are spirit-filled believers. My whole-hearted thanks to your efforts of making it available for free. It's really a big help on my spiritual life. This is highly recommended! May God continually bless you!
When are you going to update this commentary like what was done to Adam Clarke's? You can highlight, share stuff, way easier to go through. I know you're different apps, but this one compared to Clarke's and the other comm. updates are way better.
