Dr. Joseph Barber Lightfoot was born in Liverpool, England, in 1828. He was educated at Cambridge and Oxford and became Lord Bishop of Durham in the Church of England. He served as minister in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and later was Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University. He was one of the original members of the New Testament Company of Bible Revisers. Dr. Lightfoot is best known for his remarkable scholarship, evidenced in his Commentaries on Galatians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon.

These essays, by one of the pre-eminent New Testament scholars of the nineteenth century, demonstrate Lightfoot's wide range as a historian, theologian, and thoughtful Christian. Four of these five essays began as lectures, delivered in the 1870s. The last essay was written shortly before Lightfoot's death. Contents 1. Christian Life in the Second and Third Centuries 2. Comparative Progress of Ancient and Modern Missions 3. England During the Latter Half of the Thirteenth Century 4. The Chapel of St. Peter and the Manor-House of Auckland 5. Donne, the Poet-Preacher
