Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BICKERSTETH, EDWARD (1786185o) , English evangelical divine, brother of
Henry
 , Baron Langdale, master of the rolls (18361851), and uncle of Robert Bickersteth, bishop of Ripon (18571884), was born at Kirkby
Lonsdale
 , and practised as a solicitor at Norwich from 1812 to 1815. In 1816 he took orders, and was made one of the secretaries of the Church Missionary Society. On receiving the living of Watton,
Hertfordshire
 , in 1830, he resigned his secretaryship, but continued to lecture and preach, both for the Church Missionary Society and the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. His works include A Scripture
Help (London, 1816), which has been translated into many European languages, and Christian Psalmody (London, 1833), a collection of over 700 hymns, which forms the basis of the Hymnal Companion (London, 187o), compiled by his son, E. H. Bickersteth, bishop of
Exeter
  (1885189o). He was active in promoting the Evangelical Alliance of 1845, strongly opposed the Tractarian
Movement
 , and was one of the founders of the Irish Church Missions, and Parker, Societies.
