Andrew Miller, born 1810, died 1883, was a Scottish preacher, evangelist, and author whose ministry within the Plymouth Brethren movement and earlier Baptist circles left a notable legacy in 19th-century Christian literature and revivalism. Born on January 27, 1810, in Kilmaurs, Ayrshire, Scotland, he entered the business world young, joining Smith, Anderson & Co. in Glasgow and later managing its London branch, renamed Miller, Son & Torrance. Alongside his commercial success, Miller served as a voluntary pastor of a Baptist church in London’s William Street, where his passionate preaching—often tearful—focused on soul-winning. His encounter with scriptural truths at a drawing-room Bible reading shifted him away from sectarianism, aligning him with the Brethren’s emphasis on gathering simply to Christ’s name. Miller’s preaching career expanded as he was invited to speak on the 1859 Ulster Revival, launching him into wider public ministry. A warm-hearted evangelist, he traveled extensively, lamenting the apathy he observed among believers, and was instrumental in conversions across age groups. His writings, including Short Papers on Church History (often titled Miller’s Church History), reflect his Christ-centered focus, tracing ecclesiastical history through a scriptural lens rather than mere academics. Married to Elizabeth and father to at least one daughter, Rosina, he retired from business to focus on ministry, dying on May 8, 1883, in London, with his final words, “Nothing counts but Christ,” encapsulating his life’s devotion.
