George Nathaniel Henry Peters (November 30, 1825 - October 7, 1909) was an American Lutheran minister and author of The Theocratic Kingdom. His premillennial views were in conflict with the majority of Lutherans
who held postmillennial beliefs.
Biography
He was born on November 30, 1825 in New Berlin, Pennsylvania to Isaac Cyrus Peters and Magdalene Miller. He moved with his family to Springfield, Ohio at the age of 10. He enrolled in Wittenberg College in 1846. Difficulty with his eyes from a gunpowder burn required him to take a break from school during his Junior year, but he returned and graduated in 1850. In Mansfield, Ohio, he met and married his wife, Caroline Hersheiser. Together they had two sons, Edgar Edwards Peters (1854-?) and Charles Cyrus Peters. He served as treasurer of the Wittenberg Synod from 1853 to 1858. He was a member of the board of directors of Wittenberg College from 1855 to 1859. Wittenberg College awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in 1907. He died October 7, 1909, at the age of 83.
Legacy
His papers are held at the Dallas Theological Seminary archive. The monumental three-volume defense of dispensational theology maintained its vitality and popularity into the 20th century; it was reprinted in 1952 and 1972. It consists of 206 propositions plus a concluding chapter. In the preface of the 1952 edition, Wilbur E. Smith calls it "the most exhaustive, thoroughly annotated and logically arranged study of Biblical prophecy that appeared in our country during the ninteenth century."<ref name="JETS"/>
