Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAVIES, DAVID CHARLES (1826-1891) , Welsh nonconformist divine, was born at Aberystwyth on the 11th of May 1826, his father being a merchant and a
pioneer
  of Welsh Method-ism, his mother a niece of
Thomas
  Charles (q.v.) of
Bala
 . He was educated in his native town by a noted schoolmaster, John Evans, at
Bala
  College, and at University College, London, where he graduated B.A. in 1847 and M.A. (in mathematics) in 1849. He had already begun to preach, and after an evangelistic tour in South Wales supplied the pulpit of the English presbyterian church at Newtown for six months, and settled as pastor of the bilingual church at
Builth
  in 1851. He returned to this charge after a pastorate at Liverpool (1853-1856), left it again in 1858 for Newtown, and went in May 1859 to the Welsh church at Jewin
Crescent
 , London. Here he remained until 1876, and from that date till 1882, although living at Bangor for reasons of health, had the
chief
  oversight pf the church. In 1888 he accepted the principalship of the Calvinistic Methodist College at Trevecca in Brecknockshire. His
work
  here was successful, butshort; he died at Bangor on the 26th of September 1891, and was buried at Aberystwyth.
Though
Davies
  stood somewhat apart from the main currents of thought both without and within his church, and was largely unknown to English audiences or readers, he exercised a strong influence on Welsh life and thought in the 19th century. He was a serious student, especially of anti-theistic positions, a good speaker, and a frequent contributor to Welsh theological journals. Several of his articles have been collected and published, the most noteworthy being expositions on The First Epistle of Jahn (1889), Ephesians (2 vols., 1896, 1901), Psalms (1897), Romans (1902); and The Atonement and Intercession of Christ (1899, English trans. by D. E. Jenkins, 19o1).
