G. Campbell Morgan

Reverend Doctor George Campbell Morgan D.D. (9 December 1863 – 16 May 1945) was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943. Pausing for a brief period between those time frames to work at Biola in Los Angeles, when he handed over the pastorate of that revered pulpit to the renowned Martyn Lloyd Jones, after having shared it with him and mentored for some years previous.

Morgan was a prolific author, writing about 80 works in his lifetime, not counting the 10 volume set of sermons, "The Westminster Pulpit" as well of some of his sermons being published independently as booklets and pamphlets, nor the posthumous works. He wrote extensive commentaries on the entire Bible, and on myriad devotional topics related to the Christian life and ministry. His essay entitled "The Purposes of the Incarnation" was included in a famous and historic collection called The Fundamentals, a set of 90 essays edited by the famous R. A. Torrey, who himself was successor to D. L. Moody both as an evangelist and pastor. The Fundamentals is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Fundamentalist movement.

Morgan was born on a farm in Tetbury, England, the son of Welshman George Morgan, a strict Plymouth Brethren who resigned and became a Baptist minister, and Elizabeth Fawn Brittan. He was very sickly as a child, could not attend school, and so was tutored. When Campbell was 10 years old, D. L. Moody came to England for the first time, and the effect of his ministry, combined with the dedication of his parents, made such an impression on young Morgan that at the age of 13 he preached his first sermon. Two years later he was preaching regularly in country chapels during his Sundays and holidays.
