Samuel G. (Samuel Gosnell) Green

Samuel Gosnell Green (20 December 1822 – 15 September 1905) was an English Baptist minister, educator, author, and bibliophile. Born in Falmouth, Cornwall, he was educated for the Baptist ministry at Stepney and graduated from the University of London in 1843.

After serving churches in High Wycombe and Taunton, he moved into theological education, teaching classics at the Yorkshire Baptist College at Rawdon and later serving as its principal from 1863 to 1876. He then went to London, where he worked for the Religious Tract Society as editor and later editorial secretary, giving more of his time to writing and publishing.

Green wrote widely on biblical studies, church history, and Christian teaching, but he is especially remembered for language handbooks designed to help ordinary students read Scripture more confidently. Among his best-known books are Handbook to the Grammar of the Greek Testament, A Brief Introduction to New Testament Greek, and Handbook to Old Testament Hebrew.
