About the author

Born in 1792, John Alexander became a Congregational minister and is chiefly remembered for his long connection with Prince's Street Chapel in Norwich, England. He died in 1868.

The reliable information available about him is fairly limited, but library records identify him as both a minister and an author. His surviving works place him among the many Victorian-era religious writers whose sermons and devotional texts were meant to guide everyday faith and church life.

Because biographical details are sparse, he is known less for a dramatic personal story than for the steady influence of his ministry and writing within English Nonconformist religious culture.
