About the author
Born in Holliston, Massachusetts, on June 3, 1872, George Walter Fiske was an American minister, teacher, and author whose books focused on religion, worship, and Christian education. Records available through library and biographical sources connect him with Amherst College, Hartford Theological Seminary, and later study at Boston University.
Fiske wrote a number of works for churches, students, and families, including The Recovery of Worship, The Christian Family, Purpose in Teaching Religion, and In a College Chapel. His writing suggests a steady interest in making religious life thoughtful, useful, and closely tied to everyday moral and community concerns.
He died on October 10, 1945. While detailed biographical material appears to be limited online, the surviving catalog records and digitized books show a writer deeply involved in Protestant religious education during the first half of the 20th century.
