About the author

Ordained in the Church of England, William Heaford Daubney served as Vicar of Harlington in Bedfordshire and later as Rector of Leasingham in Lincolnshire. Alongside parish work, he built a reputation as a serious student of biblical literature.

He is best remembered for books such as The Use of the Apocrypha in the Christian Church and The Three Additions to Daniel: A Study. In these works, he explored texts that sit at the edges of the biblical canon, combining historical interest with close reading and theological reflection.

Daubney's writing has the steady, thoughtful tone of a scholar addressing curious general readers as well as students of religion. For audiobook listeners interested in biblical criticism, church history, or the Apocrypha, his work offers a clear window into early 20th-century Anglican scholarship.
