A.T. ROBERTSON  (1863-1934)

Archibald T. Robertson was a scholar and an expositor.  As the author of more than 40 books and a professor at Southern Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, he influenced hundreds of thousands in their Christian life and service.  His books are still on the shelves of preachers and teachers today, especially the greatWord Pictures of the New Testament and his commentaries.  He was sometimes severe in his preaching style as he was blunt and direct, but he also possessed a good sense of humor and delighted audiences with references to Deacon Skinflint, Sister Sharptounge, and Dr. Dry-as-dust. The Greek language was his specialty; he preached with a Greek New Testament in his hands.  He was born in Virginia and grew up in North Carolina.  As a youth, he had a speech impediment, which he overcame by preaching. News for Christians.
