About the author
Born in Brooklyn on September 30, 1854, Henry Thorne Sell was an American clergyman and religious author whose books were widely used for Bible study and devotional reading. Records of his published work and library catalogs consistently identify him as Henry T. Sell, or Henry Thorne Sell, and place his life from 1854 to 1928.
Sell wrote a large number of instructional Christian books, many of them published by Fleming H. Revell. His titles include Bible Study by Periods, Bible Studies in the Life of Christ, Bible Studies in the Life of Paul, Studies in Early Church History, and Studies of Great Bible Characters. Across these works, he focused on explaining Scripture in an orderly, accessible way for students, teachers, and general readers.
He died on July 20, 1928, in New York City. Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources available online, his body of work shows a writer deeply committed to organized Bible teaching and to helping readers connect biblical history with everyday faith.
