Joseph Bryant Rotherham (1828–1910)

British Biblical scholar, author and evangelist of the British Churches of Christ. During the 1860s Rotherham began work on a translation of the Bible. In 1872 his New Testament Critically Emphasized was published, with the Old Testament appearing in 1902. His work the "Emphasized Bible," is still in use today.

"Doubtless the ablest Bible scholar yet produced by Churches of Christ in Great Britain is the subject of this sketch. His ability as such was recognised by many outside our own ranks, among whom may be mentioned C. H. Spurgeon, Dr. C. D. Ginsburg, Dr. Westcott, Dr. J. W. Thirtle, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan." -- Heralds of Christian Unity: Being Brief Biographical Sketches of Some Pioneers of the Restoration Movement by Thomas Hagger.Melbourne: Austral Printing and Publishing Company, 1938.
