Notes on the Apocalypse

by David Steele

About the author

Born in County Donegal, Ireland, in 1803, David Steele later became a Reformed Presbyterian minister in the United States. He is remembered both as a church leader and as a religious writer whose published works included biblical commentary and memoir-like reflections on ministry.

Steele served for many years in the Reformed Presbyterian tradition, and sources describe him as an influential figure among Covenanters in the 19th century. His books include Notes on the Apocalypse and Reminiscences Historical and Biographical of a Ministry in the Reformed Presbyterian Church during Fifty-Three Years, which suggest the range of his interests from interpretation of Revelation to recollections of church life and pastoral work.

He died in 1887. For listeners interested in older religious writing, his work offers a window into the theology, convictions, and lived church experience of his era.
