Rev. Henry Cowles (1803-1881) was an influential biblical scholar, teacher, anti-slavery advocate, and founding member of Oberlin College's Theological Department. From 1835-1848 he was a professor of Greek and Latin as well as church history and sacred literature at Oberlin College. From 1848 to 1863 he edited the Oberlin Evangelist. From 1863 until his death in 1881, Cowles was engaged almost exclusively in the task of writing biblical commentaries. What began as a project on the Old Testament expanded to include the entire Bible.
"In his own way, this author is one of the most instructive of American writers; he is clear and definite, and leaves his meaning impressed upon the mind. His scholarship is respectable." - C.H. Spurgeon.
