Arthur Tappan Pierson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Tappan Pierson (March 6, 1837 – June 3, 1911) was an American pastor and Christian writer. He was a friend of D. L. Moody, George Müller (whose biography he wrote), and C. H. Spurgeon, whom he succeeded in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, from 1891 to 1893.
Presumably he was named after Arthur Tappan, an American abolitionist.
