W. H. (William Henry) Bennett

Born in England in 1855, William Henry Bennett became a Congregationalist minister and a noted scholar of the Old Testament. He is remembered especially for his interest in Old Testament prophecy and history, and for supporting historical criticism in biblical studies.

Bennett taught Old Testament subjects in London, serving at Hackney College and New College, and he was also connected with Cambridge as a fellow of St John's College. Sources also describe him as lecturing in Hebrew at Firth College, and his published work shows how active he was as both a teacher and writer.

He wrote many books, including studies of Jeremiah and Chronicles, along with works aimed at helping wider audiences understand the Bible. He also served as the first president of the Society for Old Testament Study. No suitable verified portrait was found from the pages reviewed, so no profile image is included.
