About the author
Born in Bethany, Connecticut, on April 8, 1814, he rose from a difficult early start to become a Yale graduate, a Congregational minister, and a prolific author. He studied at Yale and Yale Divinity School, served churches in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and later earned recognition as both a preacher and a writer.
His career blended ministry, journalism, and scholarship. In 1875 he moved to Maine to edit The Christian Mirror, a leading Congregational paper, and in 1877 he bought it, continuing as editor and proprietor until his death in Portland on October 9, 1892.
Warren wrote across several fields, which makes him especially interesting to modern readers. His works include The Parousia, a well-known study of biblical prophecy, The Seaman's Cause, and historical and genealogical books such as The Stanley Families of America and The Three Judges.
