About the author
Born in Liverpool, England, in 1870, William Evans went on to build his ministry and writing career in North America. Moody Publishers describes him as a noted American Bible teacher who served in several pastorates before becoming director of the Department of Bible at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
He spent much of his life leading Bible conferences across the United States and Canada, and he wrote more than forty volumes on Christian life, biblical study, and theology. His better-known works include The Great Doctrines of the Bible, How to Prepare Sermons, and The Book-Method of Bible Study.
Evans wrote in a practical, accessible way, aiming to help ordinary readers as well as ministers understand the Bible more clearly. That plainspoken, instructional style has helped his books remain in circulation long after his death in 1950.
