About the author
Born on April 2, 1860, George Milligan was a Scottish minister of the Church of Scotland and a respected scholar of the New Testament. He studied at the University of Aberdeen and went on to serve in parish ministry before building a major academic career.
Milligan later became professor of divinity and biblical criticism at the University of Glasgow, and in 1923 he served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. His work is especially associated with biblical language and interpretation, including studies that remained useful to later students of the Greek New Testament.
He died on November 25, 1934. For readers interested in theology, church history, or biblical scholarship, his books reflect a combination of pastoral experience, historical learning, and close attention to the text.
