About the author
Born in Rochester, New York, in 1836, Augustus Hopkins Strong studied at Yale and then at Rochester Theological Seminary. He went on to become a Baptist minister, serving churches in Massachusetts and Ohio before moving fully into theological education.
Strong is best known for his long tenure as president of Rochester Theological Seminary, where he served from 1872 to 1912. During those years he became one of the most influential Baptist thinkers in the United States, and his Systematic Theology became his best-known work.
Remembered as both a pastor and a scholar, Strong wrote on doctrine, preaching, and literature as well as theology. He died in 1921, but his books continued to be read for many years by students, pastors, and readers interested in American Protestant thought.
