This biographical work by George Rippey Jr. Stewart offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and ministry of William Henry Thomes Stewart, a prominent Presbyterian minister and educator in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Published in 1939, just a few years after Stewart’s passing, the book draws upon firsthand accounts and personal correspondence to paint a vivid portrait of a man whose unwavering faith and dedication to spreading the gospel left an indelible mark on the American religious landscape. Stewart’s tenure as president of Auburn Theological Seminary and his influential role in the Presbyterian Church’s foreign missionary efforts are explored in depth, providing valuable historical context for understanding the evolution of Protestant Christianity in the United States during a period of rapid social and cultural change. Collectors of religious biographies and students of American church history will appreciate this well-preserved copy, which, despite its age and lack of a dust jacket, remains in remarkably good condition, a testament to the enduring legacy of its subject.
