Books Patrick Fairbairn

[Mayflower]

Yesterday i got Hermeneutical Manual: or, Introduction to the Exegetical Study of the Scriptures of the New Testament .

Who read this books or the other books from P. Fairbairn like :
The revelation of law in scripture, the interpretaion of prophesy, typology of scripture ?

 

[C. Matthew McMahon]

I have used them all. Quite good. Fairbain is a good writer, and sometimes "very to the point". Sometimes not.

 

[Scott]

I have read his Typology of Scripture. It has some useful points, not the least of which is the introductory history of typology.

 

[Puritan Sailor]

Fairbarin is great. I have most of his stuff, Though his writing style can be rather dense as with many 19th century scholars.

 

[Philip A]

I've got everything but his commentary on Jonah.

I've read Revelation of Law and Scripture, and parts of Typology, Pastoral Theology, and his commentaries on the pastoral epistles and Ezekiel.

So far everything has been excellent. Not that I've agreed on necessarily every point, but excellent nonetheless. His interactions with Darby are interesting both for polemical as well as Historical value.

You can't hardly beat the stalwart 19th century Scottish Presbyterians (Buchanan, Fairbairn, Eadie, etc.) As Rich Barcellos told me, "get Eadie or die ".

 

[LawrenceU]

I've got most of Fairbairn's work. Good stuff.

 

[bond-servant]

I'm reading 'The Interpretation of Prophecy' right now. Interesting book.
