W. H. (William Harry) Turton

W. H. Turton, or William Harry Turton (1856–1938), was a British writer best known for The Truth of Christianity. The book set out to examine major arguments for and against Christian belief, and its repeated editions suggest it found a lasting audience.

Catalog and bibliographic records connect him with several editions of that book published from the late nineteenth century into the 1930s. Some library records also identify him as William Harry Turton and note a background linked with the Royal Engineers, though the most consistently confirmed part of his legacy is his writing.

Turton’s style was aimed at ordinary readers rather than specialists. His best-known work has remained notable enough to be preserved in major digital libraries, which has helped keep his name alive for later readers interested in classic Christian apologetics.
