关于作者

Job Orton was an English dissenting minister and theologian, renowned for his contributions to religious literature. He is best known for his work "The Family Expositor," which provided a comprehensive paraphrase and version of the New Testament, accompanied by critical notes. This work, published in multiple volumes, had a significant impact on biblical scholarship and was widely read among both clergy and laypeople. Orton's writing reflects a deep commitment to the clarity of scripture and the importance of critical examination in understanding religious texts.

In addition to his work on the New Testament, Orton was involved in editing the works of other prominent theologians, including P. Doddridge. His editorial efforts not only preserved the writings of these influential figures but also ensured their accessibility to a broader audience. Orton's influence extended beyond his published works; he was also a respected figure in the theological community, mentoring many young ministers and contributing to the development of dissenting traditions in 18th-century England.
