Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROWN, JOHN (1722-1787) , Scottish divine, was born at Carpow, in Perthshire. He was almost entirely self-educated, having acquired a knowledge of Latin,
Greek
  and Hebrew while employed as a shepherd. His early career was varied, and he was in succession a packman, a soldier in the Edinburgh garrison in 1745, and a school-master. He was, from 1750 till his death, minister of the Burgher branch of the Secession
church
  (see UNITED PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH
 ) in Haddington. From 1786 he was professor of divinity for his denomination, and was mainly responsible for the training of its
ministry
 . He gained a just reputation for learning and piety. The best of his many works are his Self-Interpreting Bible and Dictionary of the Bible, works that were
long
  very popular. The former was translated into Welsh. He also wrote an Explication of the Westminster
Confession
 , and a number of biographical and historical sketches.
