About the Authors

Philip Schaff (1819-1893), American theologian and church historian, was born in Chur, Switzerland, on the first of January, 1819. He was educated at the gymnasium of Stuttgart and at the universities of Tuebingen, Halle, and Berlin, where he was successively influenced by Baur, Tholuck, and Neander. In 1843 he became professor of church history and biblical literature at the German Reformed Theological Seminary of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. His inaugural address, The Principle of Protestantism, delivered in German in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1844, and published in German with an English version by J. W. Nevin, was a pioneer work in the field of symbolics.

Henry Wace (10 December 1836 - 9 January 1924) was Principal of King's College, London (1883-1897) and Dean of Canterbury (1903-1924). He took Holy Orders and served curacies at St Luke's, Berwick Street (1861-63), St James's, Piccadilly (1863-69), and Grosvenor Chapel (1870-72). He moved to Lincoln's Inn, where he served first as Chaplain (1872-80) and later as Preacher (1880-96). He was additionally Chaplain of the Inns of Court Rifle Volunteers (1880-1908) and the Warburton Lecturer for 1896.



In 1875, he became Professor of Ecclesiastical History at King's College, London, of which he served as Principal (1883-97). He was Rector of St Michael's, Cornhill 1896-1903 and Dean of Canterbury from 1903 until his death in 1924
