Harold Littrell (1920–2001)

He began preaching in 1947. He was the author and translator of the English Study Bible, had earned a BA with a broadfield major in Biblical Languages from Harding University, Searcy, AR; and an MA from the Harding Graduate School of Bible and Religion, Memphis, TN. He also held an M.Th. and a Th.D. in Theology from Southwest in Jennings, LA.

Harold Littrell preached the gospel for more than 50 years, and wrote articles for several religious journals. He wrote commentaries on all the New Testament Books. They are in nine volumes: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Paul's Letters VOL I (Romans through Colossians), Paul's Letters and Hebrews VOL II (I Thessalonians through Hebrews), General Letters (James through Jude), and Revelation.

In 1994 he had produced his English Study Bible (with notes) by Star Press. After completing the New Testament, Littrell began translating the Old Testament from Hebrew into English. Time constraints and health forced him to lay that project aside (temporarily) so that he could complete his commentaries on each book of the New Testament. He had taught Greek and other subjects in college and high school work.
