Autorenporträt
Norman Macleod was born on 3 June 1812 in Campbeltown, United Kingdom, to Norman Macleod and Agnes Maxwell MacLeod. He became a prominent clergyman and author, known for his service within the Church of Scotland and his influence on Victorian religious thought. Educated at the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, he developed a theological perspective rooted in pastoral care and moral clarity. His writing and preaching emphasized the centrality of Jesus Christ in Christian life and often addressed social issues, moral responsibilities, and religious sincerity. Macleod gained national recognition for his efforts to make religion accessible to all social classes and for his editorial leadership of Good Words, a widely read religious periodical. His sermons and essays, including works like Parish Papers, were marked by a warm, direct tone that resonated with a wide readership. In 1869, he was appointed Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, reflecting the high regard in which he was held by his peers. He died in Glasgow on 16 June 1872 at the age of 60.
