James Stuart Russell
James Stuart Russell was a pastor and author best known for his work "The Parousia" published in 1878. Today, a reprint of the book is available with the title, "The Parousia: The New Testament Doctrine of Our Lord's Second Coming."
Russell began his education early, entering King's College, Aberdeen, at the age of twelve. At the age of eighteen, he completed his M.A. degree. When The Parousia was published, the University of Aberdeen recognized the importance of the book by awarding Russell a Diploma in Divinity.
