FAUSSET, ANDREW ROBERT (1821-1910): Church of England; b. near Enniskillen (75 m. w.s.w. of Belfast), county Fermanagh, Ireland, Oct. 13, 1821. He studied at Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1843), was ordered deacon in 1847, and ordained priest in 1848, and was curate of Bishop Middleham, Durham, 1847-59. In 1859 he was made rector of St. Cuthbert's, York, and later, York Minster in 1885. He was chaplain at Bex, Switzerland, in 1870 and at St. Goar on the Rhine in 1873. In theology he belonged to the Evangelical school of the Church of England.

How did you find this? I was looking and tried quite a few different searches but came up empty.

I just kept searching with variant spellings of the name, with and without the middle initial etc. Once I found some writings of his I used these to augment the search- again with variant spellings (i.e. two T's or 1 etc)

I really needed to find out because the guy I am arguing with keeps quoting the Blue Letter Bible Commentary and I wanted to get some background info on this "primary source" of his.

He uses Fauset as his primary source for evidence that there was a "walled city with towers" on the mainland opposite Tyre (the island) when Nebuchadnezzar attacked- thus fulfilling a "portion" of Ezekiel's prophecy.

I wanted something tangible to point out to him about his source, and to me, anyone from the evangelical school is going to be rather biased.

When Dr. Joukowsky gets back from the Virgin Islands she is sending me her book which supposedly has archaeological evidence that contradicts Fauset's interpretation.
