Samuel H. Kellogg

Dr Samuel Henry Kellogg (6 September 1839 - 3 May 1899)[1] was an American Presbyterian missionary in India who played the major role in revising and retranslating the Hindi Bible.

Kellogg was one of the leading advocates of the change in American Evangelical theology from postmillennialism to premillennialism between 1870 and 1910.

[5] He decided to become a missionary and in 1864, he and his wife, Antoinette Hartwell,[4] sailed for India where they lived and worked at Farrukhabad Mission, Calcutta.

After Antoinette's death in 1876, he returned to North America with his four children and worked for the Presbyterian Church of Canada and the Theological Seminary in Allegheny.

[4] During this time, his book of Hindi grammar was published and the Council of the British Government's Secretary of State for India prescribed the book as an authority to be studied by all candidates for the India Civil Service as were required to pass examinations in the Hindi language.
