About the author
Henry A. Sherman was an American author born in 1870. The clearest confirmed information available here links him to nonfiction and educational writing, including histories of the United States government and slavery, as well as religious works for general readers and children.
He is most closely associated with The Children's Bible, prepared with Charles Foster Kent and published in the early 1920s. That book was designed to present selections from the Old and New Testaments in simple, accessible language, which helps explain why it has remained familiar to later readers and audiobook listeners.
Available sources also connect Sherman with the Life and Religion Series as a co-editor. Reliable biographical details beyond his authorship and editorial work were not clearly confirmed in the material retrieved, so this overview stays focused on the part of his career that can be supported.
