John Trapp


John Trapp, was an English Anglican Bible commentator. His large five-volume commentary is still read today and is known for its pithy statements and quotable prose; his volumes are quoted frequently by other religious writers.
Son of Nicholas Trapp, of Kempsey, Worcestershire, Trapp studied at the Free School in Worcester and then at Christ Church, Oxford, rector of Cherrington, Gloucestershire, was father of Joseph Trapp, first Oxford Professor of Poetry.
Trapp's works have been quoted by religious writers including Charles Spurgeon. Ruth Graham, the daughter of Ruth Bell Graham, said that John Trapp, along with C.S. Lewis and George MacDonald, was one of her mother's three favorite sources for quotations.
