About the author
Born in 1763, Thomas Tregenna Biddulph was an English Church of England clergyman who became one of the best-known evangelical figures in the Bristol area. He was educated at The Queen’s College, Oxford, ordained in the late 1780s, and eventually became especially associated with St James’s, Bristol, where he served for many years.
Biddulph was admired by supporters for his earnest preaching and tireless religious activity. He took part in the growing evangelical movement within the Church of England and was active in the disputes and divisions that shaped that movement in the west of England during the early 19th century.
He was also a prolific writer, producing sermons, religious poetry, and practical devotional works. Biddulph died in 1838, but his reputation as an influential Bristol evangelical and religious author has kept him of interest to church historians and readers of early evangelical literature.
