dc.description.abstract | Nearly one hundred years have passed since a detailed
study was made of the life and work of John Brown of Edinburgh. Dr. Brown was a voluminous writer, publishing many
Biblical expositions; it was the firm conviction of several
contemporary critics that Brovm's expositions would live.
But like a great portion of theological literature, his works
did not live, for they passed out of publication shortly
after his death* Consequently, his name is largely unknown
in Scotland today. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Despite the ephemeral value of his theological writings, his work as a churchman and theologian has provided an
interesting and rewarding subject of study. For Dr. John
Brown was one of the most distinguished ministers and scholars
in Edinburgh during the first half of the nineteenth century;
in patiently tracing his steps through bitter ecclesiastical
and theological controversy, one gains a deeper insight into
and a greater appreciation of the history and heritage of
the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, | en |
dc.description.abstract | In Scottish Church History, Dr. Brown was one of the
lesser but nevertheless important historical figures. Within
the Secession and United Presbyterian Churches, he was a
prominent figure and an outstanding leader whose influence
upon the Church was large and lasting. In this thesis, I
have purposed to give an historical account of his life and
work and to show how his churchmanship and liberal theology
wrought a deep, permanent influence upon the Church in
Scotland, especially upon the United Presbyterian Church. | en |
