About the author
Born in 1863, James Strahan was a Scottish Presbyterian minister and biblical scholar. Reference sources identify him as a minister as well as a writer on the Bible, and his career included teaching Hebrew and biblical criticism.
A contemporary biographical notice says he was educated at the Grammar School in Old Aberdeen, King's College, Aberdeen, and New College, Edinburgh, and that he became Professor of Hebrew and Biblical Criticism at McCrea-Magee College in Londonderry in 1915. His published works include Hebrew Ideals, The Captivity and the Pastoral Epistles, The Book of Job Interpreted, Judges and Ruth, and a life of Professor A. B. Davidson.
He died in 1926. Strahan is remembered for writing about scripture in a way that aimed to be both serious and accessible, making him a notable voice in early 20th-century religious scholarship.
