Andrew Bonar, who live from 1810 to 1892, was the brother of the famous hymn writer, Horatius Bonar. Andrew studied at Edinburgh University, to be later ordained as a Church of Scotland Minister. When the church went through Disruption, he ended up in the Free Church in Glasgow in 1856. He became their moderator in 1878. What is interesting to note is that he accompanied Robert Murray M’Cheyne on M’Cheyne’s visit to Palestine as well as to write his biography. Bonar wrote several books among them a ‘Commentary on Leviticus’ the most famous being the biography. We are grateful that we can still access his written works today.
