About the author
Born in Youghal, County Cork, in 1840, George Alexander Chadwick studied at Trinity College Dublin and was ordained in 1863. He served in Belfast and Armagh before becoming Dean of Armagh, and later Bishop of Derry and Raphoe.
Alongside his church career, he built a strong reputation as a religious writer. He is especially remembered for his Bible commentaries, including The Book of Exodus and The Gospel According to St. Mark, works noted by later readers for being thoughtful, scholarly, and still readable.
Chadwick died in 1923. For listeners coming to his work today, his writing offers a window into late nineteenth-century Christian interpretation, combining close attention to scripture with a style aimed at ordinary readers as well as clergy.
