The Library of Religious Biography is a series of original biographies
on important religious figures throughout American and
British history.
The authors are well-known historians, each a recognized authority
in the period of religious history in which his or her subject
lived and worked. Grounded in solid research of both published and
archival sources, these volumes link the lives of their subjects — not
always thought of as “religious” persons — to the broader cultural
contexts and religious issues that surrounded them. Each volume includes
a bibliographical essay and an index to serve the needs of students,
teachers, and researchers.
Marked by careful scholarship yet free of footnotes and academic
jargon, the books in this series are well-written narratives meant to be
read and enjoyed as well as studied.
