About the author
Born Charles Jabez Ball in 1851, he was an English academic, clergyman, and biblical scholar who became known as C. J. Ball. He taught classics and Hebrew at Merchant Taylors' School, served as chaplain of Lincoln's Inn, and was also a reader in Assyriology at Oxford.
His writing focused mainly on the Bible, especially the Old Testament, and often connected scriptural study with Hebrew language and the evidence of the ancient Near East. Among the works associated with him are Light from the East and The Prophecies of Jeremiah, which reflect his interest in making serious scholarship readable.
Ball died on February 7, 1924. Reliable sources confirm his career and dates, but I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no profile image is included here.
