J. C. (James Calvin) McFeeters

Born in 1848 and living until 1928, James Calvin McFeeters was an American Reformed Presbyterian minister, often listed as J. C. McFeeters, D.D. He is remembered today mainly through his sermons, essays, and historical works, including Sketches of the Covenanters and America in the Coming Crisis.

McFeeters served in the Reformed Presbyterian Church and was connected with the Second Reformed Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. A later church-history source also notes that he served as Moderator of the RPCNA Synod in 1894. His writing shows the range of his interests: Presbyterian history, Sabbath school teaching, temperance, citizenship, prophecy, missions, and the place of religion in public life.

For modern listeners and readers, McFeeters offers a window into a world where theology, history, and civic duty were closely linked. His work is especially interesting for anyone curious about American Presbyterianism, the Covenanter tradition, and the moral debates that shaped Protestant writing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
