JAMES, JOHN ANGELL (1785-1859)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 144 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAMES, JOHN ANGELL (1785-1859) , English Nonconformist divine, was born at Blandford, Dorsetshire, on the 6th of June 1785. At the close of his seven years'
apprenticeship
  to a linen-
draper
  at Poole he decided to become a preacher, and in 18o2 he went to
David
  Bogue's training institution at
Gosport
 . A year and a half later, on a visit to Birmingham, his preaching was so highly esteemed by the congregation of Carr's Lane Independent chapel that they invited him to exercise his ministry amongst them; he settled there in 18o5, and was ordained in May 18o6. For several years his success as a preacher was comparatively small; but he jumped into popularity about 1814, and began to attract large crowds wherever he officiated. At the same time his religious writings, the best known of which are The Anxious Inquirer and An
Earnest
  Ministry, acquired a wide circulation. James was a typical Congregational preacher of the early 19th century, massive and elaborate rather than
original
 . His preaching displayed little or nothing of Calvinism, the earlier severity of which had been modified in Birmingham by
Edward
  Williams, one of his predecessors. He was one of the founders of the Evangelical Alliance and of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. Municipal interests appealed strongly to him, and he was also for many years chairman of
Spring
  Hill (afterwards Mansfield) College. He died at Birmingham on the 1st of October 1859.
A collected edition of James's works appeared in 186o-1864. See A
Review
  of the Life and Character of J. Angell James (186o), by J. Campbell, and Life and Letters of J. A. James (1861), edited by his successor, R. W. Dale, who also contributed a sketch of his predecessor to Pulpit Memorials (1878).
