About the author

Born in Oswestry, Shropshire, in 1861, W. H. Griffith Thomas was an Anglican cleric and scholar from the English-Welsh border country. He became known for combining serious theology with a plain, readable style that welcomed non-specialists.

He wrote widely on doctrine, prayer, Bible study, and Christian living. Among the works most closely associated with him are The Principles of Theology, Methods of Bible Study, and devotional commentaries that were valued for being both careful and practical.

Later in life, he was involved in evangelical theological education and is remembered as an influential teacher as well as a writer. Because the information I found points to W. H. Griffith Thomas (1861–1924), not an author listed as W. H. Thomas (1880–1935), I have based this overview on the better-documented figure that matches the initials and name form most closely.
