Rev. W. Harris

Rev. W. Harris appears to have been a Christian minister and religious writer best remembered today for contributing to The Preacher’s Complete Homiletic Commentary on the Books of the Bible. A Project Gutenberg edition of the Proverbs volume credits him as “Rev. W. Harris,” and the title pages describe him as the author of a commentary on Samuel.

Reliable biographical details about his life are hard to confirm from readily available sources, so it is best to treat him as a somewhat obscure nineteenth-century devotional commentator rather than attach uncertain dates or personal background. His surviving reputation seems to rest mainly on practical, sermon-focused biblical exposition rather than on a large, well-documented public career.
