John Brown

    15 de septiembre de 1923 – 26 de agosto de 2015

    John Brown fue un médico y ensayista escocés, conocido principalmente por su colección de tres volúmenes Horae Subsecivae, que incluía ensayos y artículos sobre arte, historia médica y biografías. Sus escritos revelan un profundo interés por el arte, la historia de la medicina y temas biográficos, explorando a menudo la compleja relación entre el avance científico y el bienestar del paciente. Brown sostenía firmemente sus opiniones sobre las limitaciones de los exámenes para evaluar el progreso de los estudiantes y cuestionaba la suposición de que los avances científicos siempre redundaban en el mejor interés de los pacientes. A través de ensayos como "Rab and his Friends" y "Pet Marjorie", demostró una voz literaria reflexiva y humana.

      John Brown is excellent on this book, and it certainly is worth owning. Spurgeon reports that Dr. David Smith says of this work, 'There is not a single instance of carelessness in investigating the true meaning of a text, or of timidity in stating the conclusion at which the author has arrived.' Spurgeon adds, 'What more could be said in praise of any exposition.' John Brown of Edinburgh is a superior expositor, and his work on this book proves it again.

      Epistle to the Hebrews
    • Focusing on the warning from First Peter 5:8-11, this book provides a practical exposition of the Apostle Peter's message about vigilance against the devil, depicted as a 'roaring lion.' Written by an experienced pastor, it aims to inform Christians about their responsibilities in the face of this 'great enemy' and offers encouragement to resist temptation while remaining steadfast in their faith. The emphasis is on understanding the spiritual battle and the importance of resilience in the Christian journey.
