by Wallace N. (Wallace Nelson) Stearns
About the author
Born in 1866, Wallace Nelson Stearns was an American writer and teacher whose published work centered on biblical literature, religious education, and classical or New Testament studies. Records of his books identify him as Wallace N. Stearns or Wallace Nelson Stearns, and several title pages list his academic degrees as A.M. and B.D.
His best-known works include A Greek Primer: For Beginners in New Testament Greek, Manual of Patrology, Fragments from Graeco-Jewish Writers, A Primer of Hebrew History, and A Working Basis, and Other Essays. Taken together, those books show a scholar interested in helping readers move between language study, church history, and the historical background of the Bible.
A 1934 newspaper notice described him as widely known as both an author and educator, and public records connected with his writings place his career across the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He died in 1934. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed during this search.
