About the author
Born in Scotland on April 24, 1838, John Monro Gibson became an ordained minister and later worked on both sides of the Atlantic. A short biographical note from Christian Classics Ethereal Library says he lectured in Hebrew and Greek exegesis at Montreal Theological College for several terms and went on to publish widely in biblical studies.
He is best known today for religious works such as The Ages Before Moses, The Mosaic Era, and The Gospel of St. Matthew. These books reflect the kind of writing he was known for: serious scholarship presented in a way that ordinary readers could follow.
A record in the Henson Journals identifies him as minister of St John's Wood Presbyterian Church in London from 1880 to 1921. It also notes that he served as Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of England and was active in efforts toward church unity, including work connected with the National Free Church Council.
