About the author

Born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in 1855, James Morgan Gibbon was educated at Newcastle Emlyn and at the Presbyterian College in Carmarthen. He was ordained in 1875 and served ministries at Tre-lech and Swansea before moving to London, where he led churches at Highgate and then Stamford Hill.

Contemporary biographical sources describe him as an exceptionally popular preacher. During his long ministry at Stamford Hill, church membership grew substantially, and he remained there until his death on March 14, 1932.

Gibbon also wrote widely as J. Morgan Gibbon. His published works include biblical studies and sermons such as The Epistle to the Galatians, The Gospel of Fatherhood, and contributions to Men of the Bible; Some Lesser-Known Characters, showing his interest in making scripture clear and engaging for ordinary readers.
