Whedon, Daniel D.
MySword Version::
1.X
Dr. Daniel D. Whedon was a central figure in the struggle between Calvinism and Arminianism. He devoted 25 years to writing the New Testament commentaries. Other authors wrote the Old Testament commentaries with Whedon serving as the editor.
Whedon's Commentary is "intended for popular use by laypeople". Although the commentary is very comprehensive (22,000+ verse by verse comments), the work has a concise and easy to read feel. Whedon analyzes the entire Bible, providing the background, history, message, and historical and contemporary relevance of each Old and New Testament book. Each volume includes introductions to the text, illustrations, and maps.
Scholarly yet easily readable, this resource offers a comprehensive intellectual, historical, and spiritual survey of the riches found in the Bible. Whedon conducts brief word study or analysis of Greek and Hebrew, yet the reader is not expected to have any original language knowledge.
Whedon references the Pulpit Commentary, Speaker's Commentary, Lange's Commentary, John Kitto's works, and the Expositor's Bible.
About Daniel D. Whedon
Daniel Whedon was born in 1808 in Onondaga, N.Y. Dr. Whedon was well qualified as a commentator. He was professor of Ancient Languages in Wesleyan University, studied law and had some years of pastoral experience. He was editor of the Methodist Quarterly Review for more than twenty years. Besides many articles for religious papers he was also the author of the well-known and important work, Freedom of the Will. Dr. Whedon was noted for his incisive, vigorous style, both as preacher and writer. He died at Atlantic Highlands, N.J., June 8, 1885.
Reviews
The New Testament part of the series is the ablest Methodist commentary since the days of Adam Clarke, and is in many respects superior to that monumental work. The Old Testament books were committed to various scholars who have wrought well, but unequally, on their respective tasks.
—Southern Methodist Review
For the laborious work of construction, for accuracy of workmanship, and for general attraction of page, the present number of the series should be accepted with gratitude by the church.
—Methodist Review
[We] seldom get hold of a book of ‘Notes on the Scriptures’ that we feel like sitting down to read carefully through; yet such has been our desire with these successive volumes.
—Ladies’ Repository
In its own field it is matchless.
—N. W. Christian Advocate

Hello,
Here's the complete quote I believe you are referring to:
Daniel Denison Whedon was a pivotal figure in the struggle between Calvinism and Arminianism in nineteenth-century America. As a result of his efforts, some historians have concluded that he was responsible for a new doctrine of man that was more dependent upon philosophical principles than Scripture.
I imagine some Calvinistic historians think very poorly of Whedon. A Calvinist or Reformed person just isn't going to like Whedon. He's the opposite of Calvinism.
I recognize your name (Preacher4Truth) as being a regular on several Reformed websites. I appreciate that you promote BibleSupport.com's Calvinistic resources on those websites, by the way. You may know that I am not a Calvinist, however. 
You may still find value in Whedon for the same reason I find value in calvinistic/reformed commentaries: verses outside the scope of calvinism still have insightful comments. That's why we host an array of material that transcends theological lines. I do draw the line for material that challenges the deity of Christ (which every "cult" seems to want to do and that makes it easy to weed out such material).
I also don't agree with everything Whedon says, or for that matter, everything Lange says. It's all for reference, perspective, and context.

I'm on absolutely no reformed websites. I'm on this one and one other Baptist forum. I don't think poorly of Whedon. I just looked him up and thus I added the extension to complete the quote.
I as well as you don't agree with everything commentators say, Calvinist, Arminian, or otherwise.
I truly don't appreciate the fact that you claim I am on several reformed sites as if this were a fact. You're incorrect. Some may use my same username, but they are in fact not me.
The quote of Whedon stands.
- Blessings
Hello,
There's a person with your exact username, letter spacing, and number 4: "preacher4truth" who frequents Reformed websites promoting BibleSupport.com. And I thought it was it you all this time. Here, let me give you an example: http://www.thecalvin....php?topic=50.0
There's several other sites as well. I found that "preacher4truth" because I was searching for sites who link to BibleSupport.com. That "preacher4truth" began promoting this website on various Calvinistic or reformed websites about a week after BibleSupport.com started. And that's about when you registered for this website. I thought, wow, I appreciate that Biblesupport member promoting BibleSupport.com. I felt it was a sign we were doing something right if members were promoting us on other sites.
What also made me think you were the same person: that "preacher4truth" is a member here because he talks about downloading files (if you read his other posts). But there's only one "preacher4truth" variation of the name here at BibleSupport. Ahh well, I guess that preacher4truth used a different name here.
Now we know it's just an unusual set of coincidences with a fairly unique sounding user name. I am glad you told me, otherwise I would have always thought you were the same. I hope you see why I thought it was you (several coincidences). Whoever it is promoting this website, I am certainly grateful.
I'm sorry you don't like Whedon. Not every commentary is for everyone.
Josh
I see.
Well Josh to be honest you claimed I was on several reformed sites up above -- that is a huge stretch and unfounded. That is not the case. The site you link, yes that WAS me but I am no longer involved there -- not my 'cup of tea'. And yes, I do promote e-sword to all I can tell as well as this promoting this site. But again I belong to two sites, neither are reformed. I listen to both camps, reformed, Arminian, 'other' and even to anti-reformed.
My extended quote of Whedon was to give the full quote and sense, I think this is fair. Afterall, I believe your post to me was to put a bias on me to some extent, or to give a further sense of who I am and paint a broader picture of me. Fair enough? I did the same with Whedon prior.
To say I don't like Whedon is not accurate. I simply look for as much information as I can on any preacher/teacher. I think that is fair. Furthermore I've not investigated him any wnough to make any conclusions.
I do appreciate the fact you protect the Deity of Christ in resources. This is one reason I was adamant against The New Simplified Bible, which in John 1 denies the Deity of our Lord.
I realize not every commentary is for everyone, and I employ many differing commentaries whether or not they are of my theological slant, and yes I am of the Reformed persuasion. Simply because I extended a quote about him doesn't mean I am against him, this was to me fair to do so to get a broader scope of who he is.

Hey guy, you are correct, I brought up your history of posting on reformed message boards (or posting reformed content on message boards) to show your Reformed theology is tainting your view of Whedon.
I like transparency: my original intent was simply to show that a Calvinist or Reformed guy isn't going to like Whedon.
I care nothing about arguing whether your membership on various sites (like Calvinist Cafe) is active (gets a little legalistic). I saw your posts, noted your theology, and then when I saw your review, I just wanted to bring your theological viewpoints to light here to show why you didn't like Whedon (i.e reformed theologian isn't going to love Whedon)
Perhaps its more accurate to say, "you have disseminated reformed viewpoints on various message boards, but not all of those message boards are exclusively Calvinist like CalvinistCafe." Fair enough, I hope? I truly have no beef with you, brother. I think we're both headed to the same place and no one denomination necessarily has everything interpreted correctly.
If you like, I'll let you have the last word.

More on Daniel Whedon as the comment above is left incomplete: Daniel Denison Whedon was a pivotal figure in the struggle between Calvinism and Arminianism in nineteenth-century America. As a result of his efforts historians have concluded that he was responsible for a new doctrine of man that was more dependent upon philosophical principles than Scripture.
