About the author
Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1834, Marvin Richardson Vincent became an American Presbyterian minister, educator, and writer. He studied at Columbia and went on to build a career that moved between the classroom and the pulpit.
He is most closely associated with Word Studies in the New Testament, the reference work that made his name familiar to many Bible readers. Later in his career, he served as professor of New Testament exegesis and criticism at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
Vincent died in Forest Hills, New York, in 1922. His writing reflects a lifelong interest in explaining biblical texts clearly and carefully for both students and general readers.
