About the Author: George Arthur Buttrick (1892-1980) was an English-born, American-based Christian preacher, author, and lecturer. Born in Seaham Harbour, England, on March 23, 1892, Buttrick attended the Victoria University of Manchester before emigrating to the United States. His pastoral journey took him through Quincy, Illinois; Rutland, Vermont; Buffalo, New York; and eventually to the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, where he succeeded Henry Sloane Coffin as minister. Notably, in 1936, Buttrick officiated the marriage of Fred and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, parents of Donald Trump. His influence extended beyond the pulpit, as he taught at prestigious institutions such as Yale University, Harvard University, and the Union Theological Seminary. Buttrick's legacy lives on through his son, David G. Buttrick, who became a distinguished professor of homiletics and liturgics at Vanderbilt University Divinity School.
