James H. (James Henry) Snowden

Born in Pennsylvania in 1852, James Henry Snowden was an American Presbyterian minister and author whose work blended pastoral experience with teaching and writing. Sources consulted during this search describe him as a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College and Western Theological Seminary, and as an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church.

He also taught theology and wrote extensively for general readers as well as church audiences. The sources found here credit him with many books on Christian belief and biblical study, including The Making and Meaning of the New Testament, and note his work as an editor of the Presbyterian Banner.

Snowden died in 1936. Although not widely known today, his writing shows a steady interest in making complex religious questions understandable for ordinary readers and students.
