Josiah Miller

Josiah Miller (1832 – 1880) was an English Congregationalist minister and hymnologist.

The son of the Rev. Edward Miller, he was born at Putney, Surrey, on 8 April 1832. At age 13 he was articled to an engineering surveyor at Westminster; but he later gave up his articles and entered Highbury College, where he studied for the independent ministry. He graduated B.A. in 1853 and M.A. in 1855 at London University.

He was appointed pastor successively at Dorchester in 1855, at Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, in 1860, and at Newark, Nottinghamshire, in 1868. He gave up this last post in order to become secretary of the British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel Among the Jews. Subsequently he succeeded the Rev. J. Robinson as secretary to the London City Mission.

He died on 22 December 1880, and was buried at Abney Park.
