About the author

Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search. What can be confirmed is that Edward James Phipps is credited as the author of A Catechism on the Holy Scripture of the Old and New Testaments, a work first published in 1850 and preserved in major public-domain and library catalogs.

The book’s format suggests a practical teacher’s approach: it presents biblical material in a structured catechism style, designed to help readers learn the contents and meaning of Scripture through concise questions and answers. That makes his work a useful window into the kind of religious instruction that was common in the Victorian period.

Because trustworthy biographical details were scarce, it is safest to remember him through the writing itself: a compact, accessible work meant to guide ordinary readers through the Old and New Testaments.
