Sabine Baring-Gould (1834–1924) was a prolific English hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, and eclectic scholar. His literary opus includes over 1,200 publications, ranging from theology to folklore, and from history to fiction. Educated at Clare College, Cambridge, Baring-Gould initially followed in his father's footsteps dedicating himself to the life of a country parson, but his interests soon branched into various fields of study. Notably remembered for penning the hymn 'Onward, Christian Soldiers,' his influence extended into theological discourse. His Lenten meditation volume, 'Conscience and Sin: Daily Meditations for Lent, Including Week-days and Sundays' reflects his profound engagement with Christian spirituality and ethical reflection. In the realm of fiction, Baring-Gould remains celebrated for his book 'The Book of Were-Wolves,' which delves into lycanthropic folklore across cultures. His literary style, characterized by thorough research, an engaging narrative voice, and a distinct blend of curiosity and faith, makes his work a staple among scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian literature and culture.
