About the author
Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, on June 14, 1857, Walter William Moore became a prominent Southern Presbyterian educator and minister. He studied at Davidson College and at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, then built a career that joined scholarship, preaching, and institutional leadership.
Moore is best remembered for his long association with Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, where he served as both professor and president. Reference works describe him as a major force in the seminary’s development, and his writing reflects those interests: theology, ministerial training, Presbyterian history, and religious life. Among the works linked to him are The Preparation of the Modern Minister, Pioneer Presbyterianism in Tennessee, and A Year in Europe.
He died on June 14, 1926. For readers today, Moore stands out as an author whose books grew directly out of a life in the classroom, the pulpit, and the church institutions he helped shape.
