About the author
Born in Edinburgh on March 15, 1821, William Milligan was educated at the High School there and then at the University of St Andrews, where he graduated while still very young. After further study, including time at the University of Halle in Germany, he built a career as a minister and scholar in the Church of Scotland.
Milligan is best known as a theologian and biblical commentator, especially for his writings on the Resurrection, the Ascension, and The Revelation of St. John. He later became professor of divinity and biblical criticism at the University of Aberdeen, where he earned a strong reputation for serious New Testament scholarship.
Alongside his academic work, he was active in church life and was known as an important voice in Scottish theology. He died on December 11, 1893, leaving behind books that continued to be read by students of theology and Bible interpretation.
