Joseph Emerson Brown (April 15, 1821-November 30, 1894) was an American politician. He served as a U.S. Senator and for four terms as Governor of Georgia. He replied to a letter inquiring as to his beliefs:
<In reply to your letter asking a few lines as to my opinion of Christ and the Bible, I have to state with pleasure that I believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, and contains the only true rule of faith and practice. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Sovereign of the universe, and the Saviour of all who believe in Him.> 1821JB001
