The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Proverbs (eBook)

Rev. Robert Forman Horton (1855–1934) was an influential figure in the landscape of British liberal theology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Educated at New College, Oxford, Horton distinguished himself in the field of religious studies, becoming a noted preacher, theologian, and author. His scholarly pursuits were deeply rooted in his commitment to Nonconformist Christianity, particularly within the Congregational church, where he served as a pastor in Lyndhurst and later at London's Hampstead Congregational Church. Horton's extensive repertoire of written works includes 'The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Proverbs,' a detailed and insightful commentary that reflects his meticulous study and understanding of biblical texts. His literary style often combines rigorous scriptural analysis with practical application, aimed at both the scholarly community and lay readers. Horton's contributions to biblical scholarship and Christian thought have cemented his place as a respected voice in theological circles, influencing subsequent generations of scholars and clergy with his devout, intellectually robust approach to Christian ministry and interpretation of scripture.
