C. F. (Charles Franklin) Wimberly

Born in Illinois in 1866 and later active in the American South, Charles Franklin Wimberly was a minister as well as an author. Library and book records connect him with works including Is the Devil a Myth?, Beacon Lights of Faith, New Clothes for the Old Man, and A Biographical Sketch of Henry Clay Morrison.

The available sources suggest that his writing grew out of his church work: biographical material describes him as a pastor in Kentucky and South Carolina and later as an evangelist. His books reflect those interests, focusing on Christian doctrine, faith, and the lives of religious figures rather than fiction or academic theology.

Although detailed biographical information appears limited in easily confirmable public sources, his bibliography shows a writer interested in explaining belief clearly and persuasively for a general audience. He died in 1946.
