About the author
Born in Kent on March 10, 1858, he was educated at Haileybury and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he took his B.A. in 1879 and later his M.A. He was ordained deacon in 1881 and priest in 1882, beginning a Church of England career closely tied to teaching and clergy formation.
He served as fellow of St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, from 1880 to 1883, then as principal of St. Stephen's House, Oxford, and later principal of Ely Theological College. His published work includes devotional and theological books such as The Law of Sinai, The Empty Tomb, The Precious Blood of Christ, and The Threshold of the Sanctuary, along with edited and biographical works connected to church life.
Remembered as Canon Randolph, he combined scholarship with pastoral purpose. The surviving sources found here describe a writer deeply committed to Anglican teaching and to the training of future priests; he died in 1925.
