GENEVA: Hebrews

Commentaries generally belong to one of two categories. Either they aim
at a devotional thoroughness which lays no great emphasis on the exact meaning
of individual words, or they concentrate on such a detailed examination of the
text that the spirit and power of the book is largely lost. Among the few
commentators who stand between these two positions is Dr. John Brown of
Edinburgh (1784-1858).






By seeking to develop a style of exposition that was both edifying to
his congregation and valuable to his divinity students, he produced
commentaries which, in the words of Dr. William Cunningham, 'formed a
marked era in the history of Scriptural Interpretation'. Not behind the
foremost contemporary scholars in his emphasis on correct exegesis, he
nevertheless sought not only that the minds of his readers might be brought
'into immediate contact with the mind of the Spirit' but that their
whole being might be resigned to 'the empire of the Word of
God'.
