Archibald Alexander

Archibald Alexander was a Scottish religious writer born in 1874. Available catalog and digitized book records identify him as the author of The Glory in the Grey: Forty-Two Talks on Every-Day Life and Religion, published in London in 1914.

The surviving record around him is fairly limited, but the books connected with his name suggest a simple, pastoral style aimed at ordinary readers rather than specialists. The tone of his work is practical and encouraging, focusing on faith as it meets the routines and pressures of everyday life.

A memorial record indicates that he died in 1942 and was known as Revd. Archibald Alexander, which fits the devotional character of his writing. Because detailed biographical sources are scarce, many personal details about his life are not well confirmed online.
