Title: A commentary, critical, experimental, and practical, on the Old and New Testaments
Description: It is certainly to advantage that this commentary should be the result of the joint labors of men of differing positions and attitudes. Jamieson and Brown were members of the Presbyterian church, while Fausset was a clergyman in the church of England. Jamieson and Brown were just past sixty when they began their work on this commentary, while Fausset was twenty years younger. Brown was the most scholarly advocate of the postmillennial view in Great Britain, throughout the last half of the nineteenth century, while Fausset, with equal insistence, was an ardent premillennialist. All these men had served as ministers of congregations, in England and Scotland, and knew the needs of a minister's life; all of them were gifted preachers of the Word; and all of them were, it hardly needs to be said, conservative in their attitude to the great truths of the Christian faith. - Biographical and bibliographical foreword.
