To dispel some confusion regarding the author of this work, we cite from the McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia,
"Samuel Miller was a minister of the German Reformed Church, was born in Union County, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1815. He was licensed in 1842, and ordained the following year. He first labored in Dauphin, and then in Butler County, Pennsylvania. In 1852 he removed to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where he stood in connection with the publication office of the Reformed Church as associate editor of the Messenger and Kirchenzeitung. After laboring in this capacity about six years, he returned to the pastoral work. residing for several years in Lebanon, and afterwards in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. His health failing, he removed to Philadelphia, where he died, October 11, 1873. Mr. Miller was a man of decided talent, genial spirit, and indomitable energy, patience, and perseverance. He is the author of a work of some merit, entitled Mercersburg and Modern Theology compared, and of quite a number of articles in the Mercersburg Review. See Reformed Church Messenger.
