John Brown (1784-1858) was undoubtedly one of the finest biblical expositors of his own or any age. His Discourses and Sayings of our Lord brings together the extended teaching of Jesus and his various sayings in the course of one study.
While readers of Brown’s works will doubtless have their own favourite studies, a good case can be made out for the view that Discourses and Sayings of our Lord is of special value today. Its unique design of bringing together the extended teaching of Jesus and his various sayings in the course of one study fixes attention on Jesus Christ himself. Here the reader will be able to respond to the voice of God saying: ‘This is my beloved Son; listen to him’.
