About the author
Born in Rome, New York, in 1856, George Hodges became an American Episcopal theologian, clergyman, and author. He studied at Hamilton College and went on to serve at Calvary Church in Pittsburgh, where he became known for strong preaching and active concern for the needs of working people and immigrants.
In 1893, he helped establish the Kingsley Association in Pittsburgh, an effort linked to practical social ministry. The following year he became dean of the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a role he held until his death in 1919.
As a writer, Hodges produced works on the Episcopal Church, church history, devotion, and Christian life. His career suggests why his books still feel approachable: they were shaped by both scholarship and day-to-day pastoral experience.
