About the author
Born in New Hampshire in 1832, he became one of the best-known early leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He worked for many years as editor of the Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, giving him a major role in explaining and defending Adventist beliefs during the denomination’s formative period.
He also served the church in other leadership roles, including as the first secretary of the General Conference. Alongside his editorial work, he wrote books, articles, hymns, and poems, building a reputation as one of Adventism’s most influential nineteenth-century writers.
His best-known book, Daniel and the Revelation, remained important to generations of Adventist readers. He died in 1903, leaving behind a body of writing that still matters in the history of American Adventism.
