About the author
Born in County Donegal, Ireland, on November 2, 1803, he later emigrated to the United States and became a minister in the Reformed Presbyterian tradition. His life joined scholarship with ministry: he studied for the pulpit, served congregations, and became a respected voice among Covenanters in the nineteenth century.
He is remembered not only as a preacher but also as a writer and editor. His books and religious works were aimed at ordinary believers as well as church readers, and they reflect a firm commitment to doctrine, worship, and Christian practice.
Steele died in Philadelphia on June 29, 1887. For readers today, his work offers a window into the convictions, debates, and devotional life of nineteenth-century Presbyterian Christianity.
