Item Description

John Brown’s Self-Interpreting Bible was one of the most long-lived of the early American annotated bibles. Brown, who lived from 1722-1787, was the orphaned son of a weaver in Abernathy, Scotland. He taught himself Latin and Greek while keeping sheep and later taught himself Hebrew. In fact, for a period of time, one minister spread the suspicion of witchcraft against Brown for his learning these languages when he had little formal schooling. Brown studied for the ministry, came to Haddington in 1751 and remained there until his death 36 years later. In his numerous writings, he sought to be practical and helpful to people who wanted to know the Scripture, but had not the time or skill for deep, personal investigations for themselves.

Brown’s Self-Interpreting Bible was first published in 1778 in Edinburgh.
