William Evans

Born in Liverpool, England, in 1870, William Evans became a widely read Bible teacher and Christian author whose books were especially valued for their clear, usable approach to doctrine.

After serving in pastorates, he was appointed director of the Department of Bible at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He later spent much of his life leading Bible conferences across the United States and Canada, extending his influence far beyond the classroom.

Evans wrote more than forty volumes on biblical interpretation. Among his best-known books are The Great Doctrines of the Bible, first published in 1912, and How to Prepare Sermons, both of which remained well known long after their original release.
