by Harris J. (Harris Jeremiah) Dark
Born in Maury County, Tennessee, on February 8, 1905, Harris Jeremiah Dark became a minister, teacher, and religious author associated with the Churches of Christ. He was active in gospel preaching for decades, and accounts of his life place much of his work in Tennessee.
Dark is most widely known today for God Hath Spoken, a religious work that has remained accessible through Project Gutenberg. His writing is practical and devotional, centered on the authority of scripture and the role of faith in daily life.
He died in 1984, leaving behind a body of work tied closely to mid-20th-century American religious life. For listeners interested in Christian nonfiction and historical religious writing, his work offers a clear example of earnest, sermon-shaped prose from that tradition.
