Alexander Maclaren, D.D. (1826-1910) was a Baptist preacher known for his theological insights and oratorical skills. Born in Glasgow, he studied at the University of London and Stepney College, where he became an enthusiastic student of Hebrew and Greek. He began his ministerial career in 1845 at age 19, and in 1858 he became the longstanding pastor of Union Chapel in Manchester. As his reputation spread he received invitations to preach abroad, including an 1889 tour of Australia and New Zealand. Maclaren served terms as president of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Baptist World Congress. He remained at Union Chapel for over 40 years until retiring in 1903 as pastor emeritus, having left an indelible legacy as one of Britain's most renowned and impactful preachers.
