Autorenporträt

Alexander Whyte (1836–1921) was a distinguished Scottish divine and theological writer, renowned for his depth of character study and moral earnestness. Born in Kirriemuir, Angus, Whyte overcame a modest upbringing to become one of the most respected preachers and religious authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work at Free St. George's Church, Edinburgh, highlighted his oratorical skills and his passionate and introspective approach to devotion. Whyte's literary contributions include the celebrated 'Bunyan Characters' (1st Series), a collection of sermons that offer incisive examinations of John Bunyan's characters from 'The Pilgrim's Progress'. This work is particularly noted for its psychological insight and its keen theological interpretations, reflecting Whyte's unique capacity to weave complex character analysis with Christian morality. Whyte's scholarship and homiletic contributions were grounded in a fervent evangelical tradition, and his writings remain influential in the study of Puritan literature and spirituality. His style, characterized by an empathetic understanding of human weakness and a call to spiritual resilience, has left an indelible mark on the landscape of devotional literature.
