About this voice
Sir Robert Anderson (May 29, 1841 – November 15, 1918) was an Irish-born British barrister, intelligence officer, Assistant Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police (1888–1900), and prolific evangelical author. Born in Dublin to a Presbyterian-Anglican family, he was converted as a young man and aligned with the Plymouth Brethren tradition while remaining functionally Anglican. His Scotland Yard career included supervision of the unsolved Jack the Ripper investigation (1888). He authored 20+ books on prophecy, biblical theology, Christology, and Christian apologetics; The Coming Prince (1881; rev. ed. 1894) is the standard 19th-c. evangelical articulation of Daniel's 70-Weeks prophecy and remains the foundational reference text for the framework Missler, Lindsey, Hagee, and contemporary dispensational teachers built upon.
