William Graham Scroggie
From BrethrenPedia
William Graham Scroggie, known commonly as Graham Scroggie, was a Baptist pastor and author. He was born in 1877 in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England, one of nine children.
His parents were James Johnston Scroggie (b. 1843 Scotland), and Jane Mitchell Scroggie (b. 1846 Foveran, Aberdeen, Scotland). His mother was the daughter of Thomas Mitchell and Margaret Thomson Mitchell, and was saved under PB revivalists (John Smith, Donald Ross, etc.]] who later were credited with planting many of the earliest assemblies in Canada. James was employed as an evangelistic preacher in 1881 in Fulham, London, England.
He studied at Spurgeon's College at the age of nineteen, and his first pastorates were at London and Yorkshire, where he was expelled for opposition to modernism. He continued pastorates in New Zealand, Australia (including Tasmania), the United States, Canada, and his final pastorate was at Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle. His best known book is The Unfolding Dawn of Redemption, online in three volumes.
