⚠️ CATHOLIC LISTENER WARNING:
Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Book of Genesis is a product of Reformation-era Protestant theology and reflects views at odds with Catholic doctrine. While it contains eloquent reflections on morality and Scripture, Henry explicitly rejects Catholic teaching, denies Sacred Tradition, and interprets key passages through the lens of Sola Scriptura and Calvinism. Catholics are urged to approach this commentary with discernment and doctrinal caution. Many of Henry’s conclusions conflict with the teachings of the Church, especially regarding:
- The role of Mary in salvation history
- The proper understanding of Original Sin and grace
- The rejection of sacramental typology
- A distorted view of the Church and authority
This audiobook is presented for educational purposes only, and should be heard with the intent of contrasting Protestant interpretations with the true, apostolic understanding preserved by the Magisterium and Church Fathers. Use it as a tool to deepen your knowledge of why the Catholic Church teaches what she teaches—beginning in Genesis.
