About the author
Born in 1854, Solomon Benjamin Shaw was an American Methodist Episcopal minister who also worked as a historian, essayist, editor, and religious publisher. Sources connected with his books and author records place him in the Midwest, especially Chicago and Grand Rapids, Michigan, and note that he remained active in church and publishing work for many years.
Shaw is best remembered for books that collected revival accounts, conversion stories, and striking religious testimonies. Among the works associated with him are The Great Revival in Wales, Old Time Religion, Touching Incidents and Remarkable Answers to Prayer, and The Dying Testimonies of Saved and Unsaved. His writing was less about literary display than about preserving memorable examples meant to encourage devotion and spiritual reflection.
He died in 1941 at the age of 87. Today, his work survives mainly through reprints, library archives, and audiobook recordings, where readers still return to him for firsthand-style accounts of revival-era Christianity.
