About the author
James Calvin McFeeters (1848–1928) was an American Reformed Presbyterian minister and religious writer. Sources available here identify him as pastor of the Second Reformed Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, and note that he served as Moderator of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America Synod in 1894.
He wrote widely across church history, doctrine, and public religion. Confirmed works include The Covenanters in America (1892), a history-centered account of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Sketches of the Covenanters (1913), the book many modern readers know best, and later titles such as America in the Coming Crisis (1926) and Christ in the Psalms (1928).
His writing has an earnest, narrative style that makes historical and theological subjects feel immediate. For audiobook listeners, he is especially appealing as a guide to the struggles, convictions, and everyday courage of the Covenanters.
