Hinter dem Eintrag steht der US-amerikanische presbyterianische Pastor und Herausgeber James Russell Miller (1840–1912), der vor allem in Philadelphia wirkte und in manchen Bibelmodulen fälschlich als „John“ geführt wird. Er erlangte durch zahlreiche Andachtsbücher weite Bekanntheit, in denen er eine praktische Frömmigkeit, Sanftmut und die seelsorgerliche Bewältigung von Lebenskrisen betonte. Für heutige Bibelleser bieten seine Texte leicht zugängliche Anregungen zur persönlichen Nachfolge Christi und zur gelebten Nächstenliebe im Alltag.
