John Kitto was een Engelse bijbelgeleerde wiens diepgaande kennis van de Schrift voortkwam uit een leven vol ontberingen en vroege tegenspoed. Gered uit armoede door vrienden die zijn intellect erkenden, vond hij troost en scholing in boeken, en volgde uiteindelijk een schrijversloopbaan. Zijn reiservaringen in het Oosten en zijn academische inzichten in bijbelse contexten resoneerden diep bij een breed lezerspubliek. Kitto's werk bood toegankelijke interpretaties van heilige teksten, waardoor hij een belangrijke stem werd in de bijbelwetenschap en de populaire verspreiding ervan.
