John Brown (8) (1784–1858)

Spurgeon highly praised this work and for good reason, Brown is thoughtful and insightful as he combs through the gospels.

The expositions of John Brown (1784-1858) are unusually helpful to all kinds of readers. Spurgeon said in his Commenting and Commentaries, 'Brown is a modern Puritan of the utmost value. The volume on Galatians is one of the scarcest books in the market.'

ONE OF MANY EXCELLENT COMMENTARIES THAT I USED WHEN PREACHING THROUGH THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS.
GREAT COMMENTARY BY A NOTE WORTHY SCOTTISH DIVINE, THE GRANDSON OF JOHN BROWN OF HADDINGTON

Brown, John (of Edinburgh, 1784-1858), Discourses and Sayings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, 3 volumes (Carlisle, PA: The Banner of Truth Trust, 1967, 1852).
"Spurgeon says of this great commentary: `Of the noblest order of exposition. Procure it.' Elsewhere in COMMENTING AND COMMENTARIES, he wrote, `Dr. Brown's work must be placed among the first of the first-class. He is a great expositor.' Again, `Brown is a modern Puritan. All his expositions are of the utmost value.'
"These volumes cover much show more of the Gospel of John, plus many portions of the other three Gospels. In them he reveals his encyclopedic mind, and a profound regard for the Bible and the very Word of God. In addition, it is seen why it was said that he had the best clerical library in the whole nation of Scotland.
"There is little doubt in the mind of this reviewer that any reader of these volumes will become possessor of myriads of new insights into the Scriptures, and what they reveal of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is indispensable to the student of the Gospels." -- Jay P. Green, Sr.
"Based upon the revised and enlarged edition of 1852. Rich in thought. Pastors will appreciate the writer's application of spiritual truths to the needs of men and women." -- Cyril J. Barber.
