About the author

Born in 1865 and active in England, Leighton Pullan was an Anglican clergyman and religious historian whose work centered on church history and Christian doctrine. Sources consistently describe him as a fellow and tutor at St. John's College, Oxford, and as a lecturer in theology connected with Oxford colleges including Oriel.

He wrote a wide range of books on early Christianity and Anglican thought, including Early Christian Doctrine, The History of the Book of Common Prayer, The Teaching of Our Lord, The Atonement, and Religion Since the Reformation. His writing shows a strong interest in the early church, the development of doctrine, and the history of worship and reform.

Later references describe him as a University Lecturer in Church History at Oxford, and the dates 1865–1940 appear across library and reference records. A reliable portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
