Reverend Henry Bower (1812–1885) was an Anglo-Indian missionary of the Society of the Propagation of the Gospel[1] who was known for his scholarship over Tamil.
After completing his schooling, he was employed as a catechist by the Wesleyan Missionary Society.
At an early stage in his life, Bower attained mastery over Tamil.
Bower translated Tom Butler's anthology, Pearson on the Creed, a Biblical and Theological Dictionary, Lectures on the Moral Law, the History of Christianity in India, and other works into Tamil.
He revised the Tamil Bible with the assistance of E. Sundaram Pillai, an Indian Christian.
