About the author

Born in 1816 in Cornwall, Charles Adolphus Row studied at Pembroke College, Oxford, where he earned his B.A. in 1838 and his M.A. in 1841. He later combined church work, teaching, and writing, serving for a time as headmaster of the Royal Free Grammar School in Mansfield.

Row became known as an English Church of England clergyman and moral philosopher. His published works include titles on Christian evidence, divine inspiration, the Gospels, and the relationship between faith and modern thought, showing a strong interest in explaining Christianity clearly in an age of intellectual change.

He died in 1896. Readers coming to his work today will find a writer concerned with big questions—belief, reason, and modern skepticism—presented in the direct, earnest style of a nineteenth-century religious thinker.
