About the author
Born in Accomack County, Virginia, in 1831, Alfred Heno Ames studied at Dickinson College, where archival records note his class connection and later Master of Arts diploma. Biographical records also place his death in Washington, D.C., in 1910.
Ames is best known as the author of The Revelation of St. John the Divine: An Interpretation, published in 1897. The book presents a careful, accessible reading of Revelation and reflects his work as a churchman as well as a writer.
Available records describe him as an Episcopal clergyman, and surviving family notes indicate he was married and had children. A clear author portrait was not readily available on the sources found, so no profile image is included here.
