Description

John Brown (1722-1787) of Haddington was a leading Scottish minister in the early eighteenth-century. He was a devout Christian, a gifted preacher, and prolific writer of theology. He began life in obscure poverty, without advantage of wealth, position, title, or education. Yet God favoured him with unusual gifts and an enormous capacity for hard work.

Brown taught himself Greek while working in the fields. He became a man of deep spiritual experience with skill in preaching the doctrines of free grace and piety. A Compendious View of Natural and Revealed Religion, is based on his seminary lectures.

It contains more than 26,000 proof texts and numerous exegetical insights. This single volume of Reformed systematic theology is rich in content and an indispensable tool for students, pastors, and professors of theology.

Reviews

"John Brown does not want you to be amazed at his story, intellect or far-reaching understand of theology. He wants you to look at Scripture for yourself and be amazed at its comprehensive theological tapestry woven from Genesis to Revelation. Brown's intention is nothing short of making you "mighty in the Scriptures." This, by God's grace, is what makes The Systematic Theology of John Brown of Haddington special."

Tony Reinke, Takeupandread.com


"John Brown of Haddington (1722-1787) is an honoured name in Scottish church history. For 36 years he ministered to an Associate Presbyterian congregation, and for 20 of those years he was also the denominational professor of divinity. Students came to Haddington for a restricted number of weeks, and then went away to carry on their studies that the professor had prescribed. The introduction to this reprint gives a good overview of Brown’s life and work, while the study itself is a facsimile reproduction."

Allan Harman, the Reformed Theological Review


"Eighteenth Century Scotland produced many noted ministers, scholars and educators, but none greater, or so greatly loved in his own day or afterwards, as John Brown of Haddington.

It is a thrill and delight to see this excellent title reprinted and available once again to the Christian public. It is an incredible work, and ministers and preachers in particular, ought not to begrudge a single penny spent on the purchase of a copy. Every bible truth in all its relevant parts is stated and explained and carefully laid out, with each phrase precisely crafted. At each point, there are copious Bible references, leaving the reader in no doubt thatwhat Brown has set before us has its roots in the Word of God. This is a well-produced edition with clear print, and is a pleasure to own.

One final comment: this volume ought to be required reading for every candidate for the Christian ministry."
