Stephen Alexander Hunter

Born in Pennsylvania in 1851, he trained broadly in both theology and medicine. Sources from library and biographical records describe him as a Presbyterian clergyman who also earned a medical degree, an unusual combination that shaped both his religious work and his writing.

He spent years in China as a missionary doctor in the late 19th century, and records connected with his family library and later auction provenance note that he lived and worked there for more than a decade. That international experience seems to have sat alongside a lifelong commitment to teaching, scholarship, and church service.

Readers are most likely to encounter him through A Bible School Manual: Studies in the Book of Revelation, a study guide written for Bible students rather than specialists. He died in 1923.
