Autorenporträt
J. H. Ingraham (1809-1860), an American author and clergyman, is perhaps best remembered for his historically-inspired religious novels. Born in Portland, Maine, Ingraham dedicated much of his life to weaving tales that combined elements of history with vibrant storytelling to elucidate Christian themes. His writing career gained momentum with 'The Pillar of Fire; or, Israel in Bondage' (1859), a work that showcased his profound interest in Biblical history and his ability to dramatize those events for his 19th-century audience. The novel, which centers around the story of Moses and the Exodus, reflects Ingraham's narrative flair and deep-seated evangelical convictions. Ingraham's literary style, characterized by the richly detailed scenery and a didactic undertone, sought to enlighten and entertain while instilling moral values consistent with the Christian faith. While 'The Pillar of Fire' remains his most recognized work, his other writings further attest to his commitment to religious and historical themes, and they contributed to the genre of instructional religious fiction during the period of his literary activity. Ingraham's novels not only served to edify readers but also provided them with a sense of adventure and escape, using Biblical narratives as a foundation for exploring the complexities and virtues of human experience in the context of divine providence.
