Dr. Alexander Whyte (1836-1921) was widely acknowledged to be the greatest Scottish preacher of his day. He was the minister of the largest and most influential congregation in the Free Church of Scotland. He was a mighty pulpit orator who thundered against sin, awakened the consciences of his hearers, and then gently led them to the Savior. His "pulpit presence" or force of personality was said to be almost as powerful as his preaching, which very often focused on the wrath of God against sin and His mercy toward sinners. He was also a great teacher, who would teach a class of around five hundred young men after the Sunday night service, instructing them in the way of the Lord more perfectly. He also served as professor of New Testament literature and principal of New College, Edinburgh. His many books include: Bible Characters, Commentary on the Shorter Catechism, The Duty of Prayer, The Apostle Paul, and many others.
