51 articles · 19 topics

Arthur Walkington Pink (1886–1952) was born in Nottingham, England, and after a brief flirtation with Theosophy in his youth, was soundly converted and became one of the most industrious and uncompromising Reformed writers of the twentieth century. He was largely self-taught theologically, never having attended seminary, yet produced a body of work that has shaped Reformed thought across denominational lines.

Pink spent much of his life as an itinerant preacher and writer — living at various times in the United States, Australia, and finally the Scottish island of Lewis — while producing the monthly Studies in the Scriptures, which he wrote, edited, and published almost entirely himself from 1922 until 1953. At the height of its circulation it reached only a few hundred subscribers, and Pink died largely unknown. In the decades after his death, however, the Banner of Truth Trust republished his works and he was discovered by a new generation of Reformed readers.

His most enduring works — The Sovereignty of God, The Attributes of God, The Atonement, and his massive Exposition of the Gospel of John — are marked by an unsparing commitment to doctrinal precision, a rich command of Scripture, and a deep concern for personal holiness. Pink's style is direct, his standards uncompromising, and his Christ-centeredness unmistakable. He wrote as a man who believed every word of Scripture and expected his readers to live accordingly.
