H.A. Ironside(1876 - 1951)


Ironside was one of the most prolific Christian writers of the 20th Century. He was Born in Toronto in 1876 to godly Plymouth Brethren parents, Ironside had read the Bible through fourteen times by his fourteenth birthday. As a young man, he joined the Salvation Army. However, after a few years he left them and returned to the Plymouth Brethren Church. His testimony to his conversion and his views on holiness and God’s grace are found in his book Holiness: The True and the False (1912).
Ironside never received much in the way of formal education but was a self-taught student. Despite this lack of formal education, his tremendous mental capacity, photographic memory and zeal for his beliefs caused him to be called, "the Archbishop of  Fundamentalism."
He became nationally known as a Bible teacher with a traveling ministry, which included Bible conferences and visiting faculty positions at institutions such as Moody Bible Institute and Dallas Theological Seminary. His only pastorate was that of Moody Church. He resigned that pulpit after 18 years to engage in a full-time writing and conference ministry.
From 1916 to 1929, Ironside preached almost 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.In 1930, Wheaton College presented Ironside with an honorary Doctorate of Letters degree, and in 1942 Bob Jones University awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree
Ironside’s greatest legacy is his writing, a veritable library of over 60 books and numerous pamphlets and articles. His writing style was characterized by devotional exposition, simple outline of complicated issues and creative wording and illustrations. His Bible commentaries cover all the New Testament books, as well as every prophetic book in the Old Testament. 
Ironside died in 1951 while on a speaking tour in New Zealand.
