Publisher's Description

The early struggles of John Brown of Haddington read like a romance. Happily his unique gifts were quickly recognized...While Pastor and Professor, he single-handed produced a Dictionary of the Bible that held its own for a hundred years; and a Commentary on the Scriptures, which he happily entitled A Self-Interpreting Bible. His life and labors have scarcely had their due presentation to the public. --from the Preface
