Short Papers on Church History

Andrew Miller (1810–1883) was a Scottish businessman and Brethren author. Born in Kilmaurs, Ayrshire, he built a Glasgow firm that became Miller, Son, & Torrance of London, while serving as unpaid pastor of a London Baptist church before identifying with the Brethren. He encouraged and helped finance C. H. Mackintosh's Notes on the Pentateuch, and is best remembered for his Short Papers on Church History — the work in our library — long known simply as Miller's Church History.
