File Name: Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown’s Commentary on Whole Bible (Unabridged: 6 vols)

File Submitter: david psalms

File Submitted: 02 Sep 2013

File Category: Commentaries

Author: Jamieson, Fausset, Brown
e-Sword Version: 9.x - 10.x

Published in 1878, this is the unabridged version of Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown’s Commentary. This version includes the Greek and Hebrew words, along with double the content of the abridged, official e-Sword version. Most online versions of JFB are abridged and include only a fraction of what the authors said!

Often abbreviated JFB, Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown's classic commentary needs no introduction. With its scholarly insights, JFB's commentary is to verse-by-verse exposition what the Matthew Henry's Commentary is to devotional-style commentaries.

JFB sheds light on the full meanings and implications of words, verses, and passages to supply you with an in-depth understanding of the entire Bible.

Charles Spurgeon said:“…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.”

i have also attached the 54 pages preface information in the form of a word doc with this module. you can download and read.

This commentary has only Book and verse level comments. No chapter level comments are available.

Thanks to Josh Bond, Jon for helping me in preparing Macros and guidance in preparing the module.

Hi David.

There seems to be data missing or not split/defined correctly for the verse comments of Acts chapters 21 through 28. For example the first comment in Acts 21 is verse 20, so where are the comments on verses 1-19? they are in the abridged version 

 

In the early Bible books Gen-Esther as the same data is used in each (was that supposed to be split)?, the Book comments contains many concatenated words, for example.

INTRODUCTION
TO THE PENTATEUCH AND HISTORICAL BOOKS
by ROBERT JAMIESON
The Pentateuch, the name by which the first five books of theBible are designated, is derived from two Greek words, pente, "five," andteuchos, a "volume," thus signifying the fivefold volume. Originallythese books formed one continuous work, as in the Hebrew manuscripts they are stillconnected in one unbroken roll. At what time they were divided into five portions, eachhaving a separate title, is not known, but it is certain that the distinction dates at orbefore the time of the Septuagint translation. The names they bear in our Englishversion are borrowed from the Septuagint, and they were applied by those Greektranslators as descriptive of the principal subjects--the leading contents of therespective books. In the later Scriptures they are frequently comprehended under thegeneral designation, The Law, The Book of the Law, since, to give a detailedaccount of the preparations for, and the delivery of, the divine code, with all the civiland sacred institutions that were peculiar to the ancient economy, is the object to whichthey are exclusively devoted. They have always been placed at the beginning of the Bible,not only on account of their priority in point of time, but as forming an appropriate andindispensable introduction to the rest of the sacred books. The numerous and oft-recurringreferences made in the later Scriptures to the events, the ritual, and the doctrines ofthe ancient Church would have not only lost much of their point and significance, but havebeen absolutely unintelligible without the information which these five books contain.They constitute the groundwork or basis on which the whole fabric of revelation rests, anda knowledge of the authority and importance that is thus attached to them willsufficiently account for the determined assaults that infidels have made on these books,as well as for the zeal and earnestness which the friends of the truth have displayed intheir defense.
