Arthur Tappan Pierson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Tappan Pierson (March 6, 1837 – June 3, 1911) was an American pastor and Christian writer. He was a friend of D L Moody, George Müller (whose biography he wrote), and C H Spurgeon, who he succeeded in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, from 1891 to 1893.
Presumably he was named after Arthur Tappan, an American abolitionist.
