This exhaustive commentary
(also known as the "JFB Commentary" taken from the last
names of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown) contains over
3,000 pages of information, and covers nearly every
verse in every book of the Bible. Originally published
in 1871, Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the
Whole Bible has earned a reputation that lasts to this
day as being one of the best, most sought after and most
highly regarded Bible Commentaries available anywhere.
All three of the authors of this Bible commentary were
conservative in their theology, and, from first-hand
pastoral experience, were familiar with the needs of the
everyday believer. All served as pastors in England as
well, and this practical ministry experience, combined
with their extensive knowledge of the Bible and sound
theological scholarship, is reflected in the
easy-to-understand, down-to-earth, and spiritually
challenging insights of the Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
Commentary.
Many of you may be familiar with Charles H. Spurgeon,
the famous English expositor of Scripture and arguably
the most famous preacher of the 19th century. Charles
Spurgeon is quoted as saying of this commentary, "Of
this commentary I have a very high opinion. It is the
joint work of Dr. Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and Dr. David
Brown. 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."
If the JFB Commentary was good enough for Charles H.
Spurgeon, it's good enough for the rest of us!
Many scripture scholars who own the best of the best in
current Bible commentaries of the New and Old Testaments
still find themselves reaching for 'Commentary Critical
and Explanatory on the Whole Bible' time after time.
This is due to not only the detail presented, but the
heart with which it is presented. It is packed full of
historical information as well as Greek/ Hebrew
definitions and is excellent in all of the other
additional information it provides. Despite it's age, it
is a MUST have for ministers or ANYONE serious about
God's Word. It will always be a timeless classic for all
those who are seeking to enrich their lives with not
only the intellectual information of God's Word, but
also assisting in understanding HIM better and drawing
them closer to HIM (that's really what it's all about
anyway).
This Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole
Bible was authored nearly 150 years ago, yet like so few
of its numerous peers, the JFB still remains as the
preeminent work of its kind. Today's "modern"
commentaries pale by comparison and will quickly fade
into obscurity. If anything, it seems as though deep
understanding of the Scriptures has given way to
superficial milk-spew. The JFB remains the bedrock
standard of Scriptural explanation. Concise, lucid, and
without apology to denomination or creed, Jamieson,
Fausset, and Brown have done more for the honest Bible
student than nearly any other expounder before or since.
To say we highly recommend the JFB couldn't be more of
an understatement.
