Elwyn A. (Elwyn Allen) Smith

Elwyn A. Smith, also listed as Elwyn Allen Smith, was born in 1919. Sources connected with his published work and archival records identify him as a writer of religious and historical books, including Men Called Him Master and The Presbyterian Ministry in American Culture.

A brief biographical note attached to his work says he served as co-editor of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia. That fits the broad shape of his career: writing for general readers while also contributing to serious Protestant and ecumenical scholarship.

Available records indicate that he died in 2009. Reliable portrait images were not readily available from the sources I could confirm, so no author photo is included here.
