About the author
Born in 1794 at Newcastle-under-Lyme, John James Blunt was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he later became a fellow. He was ordained in the Church of England and went on to serve as a curate and rector before becoming Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge.
Blunt wrote on Christian history, biblical interpretation, and the way small, unintended details in ancient texts can support their credibility. Among the works most often associated with him are Undesigned Coincidences in the Writings both of the Old and New Testament and studies of the early Church.
He died in 1855. Reliable pages located during this search confirmed his career and reputation, but I did not find a suitable verified portrait image on those pages, so no profile image is included here.
