Henry Robert Reynolds (26 February 1825, Romsey, Hampshire, England–10 Sept. 1896, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, England) was an English Congregational minister, college head and writer. ==Life== Born at Romsey, Hampshire on 26 February 1825, he was the grandson of Henry Revell Reynolds, and the elder son of John Reynolds (1782–1862), Congregational minister, by his second wife Sarah (died 1868), daughter of Robert Fletcher of Chester and sister of Joseph Fletcher; Sir John Russell Reynolds was his younger brother. Educated mainly by his father, in September 1841 he entered Coward College, London to prepare for the ministry. He matriculated at London University in the same year, obtaining the university mathematical scholarship in 1844 and graduating B.A. in 1848. In the same year he was made a fellow of University College, London. In April 1846 Reynolds became pastor of the congregational church at Halstead in Essex, receiving permission to curtail his course at Coward College. He was ordained on 16 July 1846; among his congregation was the future missionary Matthew Atmore Sherring, whose father was one of Reynolds's deacons. In 1849 Reynolds accepted a call to be minister of the East Parade chapel at Leeds, entering on the duties on 28 March. In 1855 his health gave way, and during next five years he spent time on visits to Egypt, Italy, and the south of France, being frequently ill.〔 In June 1860 Reynolds accepted the post of president of Cheshunt College, where he moved in August, and acted as professor of dogmatic theology, ecclesiastical history, and New Testament exegesis. From 1866 to 1874 he was co-editor with Henry Allon of the ''British Quarterly Review'', and from 1877 to 1882 he edited the ''Evangelical Magazine''. In 1869 he received the honorary degree of D.D. from Edinburgh University, and in the next few years he was engaged on the project of enlarging the Cheshunt College buildings, in celebration of the centenary of the institution. This work was completed in 1872.〔 In November 1894 failing health compelled Reynolds to resign the presidency of Cheshunt College, and in May 1895 he retired to Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. He died there on 10 September 1896, and was buried in Cheshunt cemetery on 15 September.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Robert Reynolds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
