Has anyone used both Henry's and Gill's commentaries enough to compare and assess them for me?
I own Henry's, but I have not read Gill's before.
Thanks.

That makes sense. I have found that Henry often leaves me with questions about the interpretation of a particular biblical statement, yet goes to great lengths to draw out some kind of practical application.To put it briefly, Gill is more technical, while Henry is more devotional. Gill will dig deeper on the harder questions of interpretation; Henry will help you apply the text.
Gil is for the theologian in you, while Henry is for the Christian looking to apply practical theology.That makes sense.

I'm not sure what is better for myself.
Gil is looked upon as being their version of Calvin among many reformed baptists.To put it briefly, Gill is more technical, while Henry is more devotional. Gill will dig deeper on the harder questions of interpretation; Henry will help you apply the text.
I have a problem with both men!!
I can't find a good edition of either man's commentary that isn't in tiny, tiny font size. And I have to have an actual book, not a download.
Have you seen the size of Gill's? I'm tempted to look for a microscope..
