David McIntyre
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
David Martin McIntyre (1859 – 1938) was a Scottish preacher and Principal of the Bible Training Institute, Glasgow from 1913 to 1938.
David McIntyre was the son of Rev Malcolm McIntyre, (16 January, 1819 – 10 October, 1903) and his wife Mary Ann (Miller), (6 September, 1829 – 31 July, 1862). David's father Malcolm was Free Church of Scotland minister of Monikie, Angus from July 1849 to his death. David had an elder sister Margaret Grace and an elder brother Miller Malcolm, both of whom died in their childhood (1863 and 1874 respectively). David's mother was the daughter of the previous minister of Monikie, James Miller, who came out of the Church of Scotland at the Disruption.
David was minister of College Park Church, London (Presbyterian Church of England), from 1886; colleague and later successor to Andrew Bonar at the Free Church of Scotland, Finnieston, Glasgow, from 1891. From 1900 the Finnieston congregation was part of the United Free Church of Scotland and from 1929 Church of Scotland. McIntyre's pastorate at the church became an honorary post from 1915 due to his college duties.
McIntyre wrote a good number of Christian books, often under the spelling M'Intyre, and edited The King's Writ - A Quarterly Journal of Bible Study in the 1920s. His best known book is probably "The Hidden Life of Prayer".
