Robert Strange
1857–1914
Remembered as an Episcopal bishop and writer from North Carolina, he left behind sermons, addresses, and religious works that capture the concerns of the American South in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His books still offer a window into church life, regional history, and the language of faith in his era.

About the author
Born in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1857, Robert Strange became an Episcopal clergyman and later served as the second bishop of the Diocese of East Carolina. He studied at the University of North Carolina and spent much of his career in church leadership, including parish work and diocesan service.
Alongside his ministry, he wrote and published religious works, including Church Work Among the Negroes in the South. His writing reflects the religious debates and social attitudes of his time, which makes it useful today both as a historical record and as an example of early 20th-century church literature.
Strange died in 1914, but his name remains linked to North Carolina religious history and to printed works that preserve his voice for later readers. For audiobook listeners, his work offers more than devotion or argument alone: it also opens a direct path into the world he lived in.
