About the author
Born in 1809, Daniel Moore was an English churchman whose career joined scholarship, preaching, and pastoral work. He studied at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where his memory was later honored with a painted portrait, and he became known early on for prize-winning theological essays.
Moore served in several important London posts, including Christ Church, St John's Wood, and Trinity Church, Paddington. He later became a chaplain-in-ordinary to Queen Victoria and a prebendary of St Paul's, distinctions that reflect how highly he was regarded within the Church of England.
He also wrote widely, publishing sermons, devotional works, and apologetic writings such as The Christian System Vindicated. Readers coming to his work today will find a writer deeply concerned with faith in everyday life, and with explaining Christian belief clearly and seriously to a broad audience.
