From the first chapter: "The epistle of the Romans is the nearest approach of anything in the inspired volume to a systematic view of Christianity. The design of the following work is to present, with as much conciseness as is compatible with perspicuity, such a view of the statements and illustrations, of the doctrine and law of Christ . . . as may at once induce the conviction that . . . it deserves to be regarded as a piece of deep and close thinking . . ."

(Excerpt from An Exposition of the Epistle of the Apostle ...)
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Hebrews, Vol. 1 The Editor ventures to think that this, though the last of Dr Brown's expository works, will be found not the least valuable. It possesses, in an eminent degree, all those qualities which distinguish the other expository works of the gifted author - singular clearness of apprehension, remarkable conciseness and precision of language, a sacred regard to the authority of the inspired writer, a rich savour of evangelical doctrine, and a fearless following out of, and giving expression to, what in his judgment and conscience he believed to be the mind of the Holy Ghost. There is not a single instance, he thinks, of carelessness in investigating the true meaning of a text, or of timidity in stating the conclusion at which the Author had arrived. To every passage, and every clause of a passage, he gives the most critical attention; and, though not hypercritical, he is very particular and minute in his examination, especially of difficult portions of the Epistle. His great object, obviously always is to bring the minds of his hearers and readers into immediate contact with the mind of the Spirit; and the Editor is very much mistaken if it will not be found that, in this Exposition, Dr Brown has brought out important ideas, which either had not been previously noticed at all, or only very partially and obscurely. He can entirely, therefore, go along with Dr Cairns in his very admirable Memoir, when, in speaking of this exposition while it still lay in the repositories of the Author, and expressing the expectation, "that it will be given to the world without unnecessary delay," he says: "On the Epistle to the Hebrews he bestowed almost as much labour as on that to the Romans; and the suffrages of competent judges, who have had opportunities of comparing both, are divided as to their relative excellence."

Not illustrated.1862 Excerpt: ... not the fear of God extinguish all other fear--the love of the Saviour neutralize the power of all opposing affections--the majestic glories of eternity make all earth-born glory grow dim or disappear, shrink to a thing of nought,--nay, would not the very afflictions and trials they met with, when viewed as a verification of the declarations of the Saviour, operate as a confirmation of their faith, that He whose declaration, that "in the world they should have tribulation," had been fulfilled, would be found equally true to the other connected declaration, "In Me ye shall have peace?" Under the influence of an enlightened faith, the very circumstances which to the unstable prove the occasion of apostasy, are found, as evidences of the faithfulness of the Saviour, and the truth of His declarations, the means of attaching the Christian the more closely to the cause of his Lord and Saviour. The duties and difficulties, the trials and privations of Christians, are substantially the same in all countries and in all ages; and nothing can enable them to conduct themselves properly in reference to these but faith. Looking away from what is seen and temporal to the God who is invisible, the Saviour who is unseen, the world which is eternal,--that, and that alone, will enable us to brave dangers before which the stoutest heart, unsupported by the faith of the Gospel, must quail, and make the feeblest of us "more than conquerors" over the most powerful of our spiritual foes. Believing u the exceeding great and precious promises" of God, and the power and faithfulness of Him who has given them, the Christian remains "stedfast and immoveable" amid all the storms of temptation which threaten to shake his attachment to Christ and His cause.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The grandson of John Brown of Haddington, he was born at Whitburn, Linlithgowshire.
He studied at Glasgow university, and afterwards at the divinity hall of the Burgher branch of the Secession church at Selkirk, under George Lawson.
In 1806 he was ordained minister of the Burgher congregation at Biggar, Lanarkshire, where he laboured for sixteen years. Transferred in 1822 to the charge of Rose Street church, Edinburgh, he at once took a high rank as a preacher. In 1829 he succeeded James Hall at Broughton Place church, Edinburgh.
In.
1835 he was appointed one of the professors in the theological hall of the Secession church. The first in Scotland to use in the pulpit the exegetical method of exposition of Scripture, and as a professor he illustrated the method and extended its use. To him chiefly is due the abandonment of the principle of interpretation according to the analogy of faith, which practically subordinated the Bible to the creed.
He had a considerable share in the Apocrypha controversy.
And he was throughout life a vigorous and consistent upholder of anti-state-church or voluntary views. He supported the separation of church and state.
This Brown finally refused to pay, whereupon in 1838 his goods were twice seized and sold. His two sermons on The Law of Christ respecting civil obedience, especially in the payment of tribute, called forth by this grievance and the controversy it engendered, were later published with extensive additions and notes.
The part he took in the discussion on the Atonement, which agitated all the Scottish churches, led to a formal charge of heresy against him by those who held the doctrine of a limited atonement.
In 1845, after a protracted trial, he was acquitted by the synod.
