About the author
Born in Alabama in 1870, he became an American Baptist educator whose career was centered on teaching the Bible in a clear, organized, accessible way. Reliable reference sources describe him as an important figure in the development of Baylor University's religion department, where his work helped shape the program in the early twentieth century.
He is best remembered today for instructional religious books such as The Bible Book by Book and The Bible Period by Period. These works were designed for students, teachers, and ministers, and they reflect his gift for turning large biblical themes into practical study tools.
Tidwell died in 1946. While information about his life is available from historical and library sources, I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages retrieved here, so no profile image is included.
