About Rowland Hill
Sir Rowland Hill of Soulton was an English polymath, statesman, merchant, and philanthropist. He was a central figure in the publishing and later historiography of the Geneva Bible. While traditionally identified as its 'publisher,' his primary role was that of a high-level patron and state official; as a Commissioner for Ecclesiastical Causes under Elizabeth I, he held the legal authority to oversee and authorize the circulation of religious texts during the Elizabethan settlement.
