About the author
Born in Grimsby on October 15, 1864, George Jackson was a British Wesleyan Methodist minister. He trained at Richmond College and was sent to Edinburgh in 1888, where his preaching and public work helped build support for the city’s Central Hall.
Jackson wrote widely on Christian belief, scripture, and preaching. His books include The Teaching of Jesus, The Ten Commandments, The Fact of Conversion, and In a Preacher's Study, showing a steady interest in making theology accessible to ordinary readers.
Reference works describe him as a preacher whose modern outlook remained loyal to the gospel, and that combination seems to explain his lasting appeal. He died in 1945.
