I have a set of this commentary floating to me through the mail.
The authors are interesting - two Scottish Presbyterians and an Irish Anglican.
Robert Jamieson (January 3, 1802 - October 26, 1880) - a Presbyterian minister in the Church of Scotland
Andrew Robert Fausset (October 13, 1821 - February 8, 1910) - an Anglican minister in the Irish Anglican church
David Brown (August 17, 1803 - July 3, 1897) - a Presbyterian minister in the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland
Also interesting is the very uneven distribution of the work: Fausset wrote the commentaries for 44 books (Job-Malachi, Romans-Revelation). Jamieson comes in second, commenting on 17 books (Genesis-Esther), and Brown had the lightest load (Matthew-Acts). It would be interesting to know how this division of the work came about.
I realize it's, of course, an older work (originally published in six volumes from 1864 to 1870), but I figure that it's still useful.
Any of you guys have it? Do you use it and like it? Any problems with it?
