Andrewjmm's grandfather

Harold Keeling Moulton, named Keeling after another Methodist minister's family. My mother's mother's maiden name was Keeling. Born 1903, a boy at The Leys and undergraduate at King's College Cambridge, like my father and brother. I was born at Didsbury College (see W.F.Moulton) and and went back there after Cambridge for theological training and and an education diploma at Manchester University. (Incidentally I was the only man in the University to get a first class, along with five women). Missionary in South India from 1927 to 1957, mostly in the United Theological College, Bangalore. Married in 1930 to Marjorie Ireland (Granny). Four daughters all born in India. Professor of New Testament Greek. Member of the Tamil Bible Revision Committee 1939-1950. The U.T.C. is a wonderful institution. Of all the students who were there in my time, sixteen have become bishops, five are Bible Society secretaries, five are college principals, many are YMCA secretaries, and one is administrator of the great Vellore Medical College.

From 1957-1971 I was a translations secretary of the British and Foreign Bible Society. I worked mostly in London Bible House, but the society sent me to no fewer than 22 different countries in connection with the supervision of translation work and guidance on New Testament problems. The furthest was Tonga, and I had the joy of getting the Bible Society to reprint my great uncle Egan's translation (see James Egan Moulton).

In 1971 Granny and I were invited back to Bangalore for two years for a special lecturing course, and Serampore University (the All-India theological university) kindly gave me an honorary D.D.

My own books are: The Fourth Edition of the Concordance to the Greek Testament (I am the third generation to work on this), Colossians and Ephesians in the Preacher's Commentary series, The Acts of the Apostles and the Challenge of the Concordance in the Christian Students' Library series, Papyrus Parchment and Print in the World Christian Books series, and a centenary memoir of my father (see James Hope Moulton).
