The Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary was created by three theologians and scholars from across the United Kingdom: Rev. Robert Jamieson D.D. (January 3, 1802–October 26, 1880), Rev. Andrew Robert Fausset A.M. (October 13, 1821–February 8, 1910), and Rev. David Brown D.D.(August 17, 1803–July 3, 1897). Robert Jamieson, in his early years, had intended to study medicine but instead devoted himself to the work of Christ’s ministry. His co-author of the commentary, Andrew Fausset, was a man of many accolades who produced several works on biblical prophecy. Their third partner, Rev. David Brown, served as Moderator of the General Assembly. In 1871 these three men published a six-volume work known as Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. This expository continues to hold a high reputation due to its “scholarly rigor” and “devotional value.” English preacher Charles Spurgeon commended this commentary in saying, “It is to some extent a compilation and condensation of other men’s thoughts, but it is sufficiently original to claim a place in every minister’s library: indeed it contains so great a variety of information that if a man had no other exposition he would find himself at no great loss if he possessed this and used it diligently.”^[1]
