1861–1924
An Anglican teacher and preacher with a gift for making Christian doctrine clear, he became widely read for works like The Principles of Theology and helped shape evangelical life in Britain and North America. His influence also reached into theological education through his role in the early story of what became Dallas Theological Seminary.

by W. H. Griffith (William Henry Griffith) Thomas
Born in Oswestry, Shropshire, on January 2, 1861, William Henry Griffith Thomas was an Anglican cleric, scholar, and teacher. He studied at King’s College London and Christ Church, Oxford, and was ordained in the Church of England in 1886.
Over the years he served in parish ministry, taught theology, and became principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. He was known for combining careful scholarship with a warm evangelical faith, and his books were written to help ordinary readers as well as students and ministers.
Griffith Thomas spent his later years speaking and teaching in Britain and North America, and he was involved in the founding vision for the institution that became Dallas Theological Seminary. He died on June 2, 1924, but his writing has remained in print for generations, especially among readers interested in Anglican theology, Bible teaching, and practical Christian living.
