About the author

Born in Virginia in 1863 and raised in North Carolina, A. T. Robertson became one of the most influential Baptist scholars of the New Testament. He studied at Wake Forest College and then at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, where his gift for Greek quickly stood out.

Robertson spent most of his career at Southern Seminary, where he taught generations of students and built a reputation as a remarkably productive writer. His work centered on the language of the New Testament, especially Koine Greek, and he published major studies, grammars, commentaries, and the popular Word Pictures in the New Testament.

He was also known as a preacher as well as a scholar, aiming to make careful language study useful for ordinary ministry. He died in Louisville in 1934, but his books continued to be used by pastors, teachers, and serious Bible readers for many years afterward.
