Barnhouse, Donald Grey

Donald Grey Barnhouse (1895-1960), a writer and pioneer in Christian radio, graduated from the University of Chicago and Princeton Theological Seminary. He also studied in Europe where, for a time, he was a pastor and teacher in France. In 1927 he returned to the United States to begin a 33-year pastorate at Philadelphia’s Tenth Presbyterian Church. Here he began his radio ministry, which focused primarily on the book of Romans; wrote more than 30 books, including God’s Method for Holy Living; and served as the director of the Stony Brook School for Boys. He used his superior education and keen mind to make the truths of Scripture, particularly Pauline theology, accessible to a mass audience.
