Arthur Tappan Pierson (1837–1911) was born in New York City and named after Arthur Tappan, the famous abolitionist. He graduated from Hamilton College, New York, in 1857, and Union Theological Seminary in 1869. He married Sarah Frances Benedict in 1860, and they had seven children whom all served as missionaries, pastors, or lay leaders.

He was a guest lecturer at numerous prominent colleges and seminaries, and succeeded his good friend Charles Spurgeon in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London for two years.
But perhaps Pierson's legacy would mostly be defined for his advocacy of faith-based missionary work. He set it as a personal goal to have missionary workers in every country of the world by the end of his life. His bestselling books were those that demonstrated the effective and inspirational work of missionaries, he was the longtime editor for the Missionary Review of the World, and he was one of the organizers of the famous Student Volunteer Movement. His family had Matthew 28:19 engraved on his headstone, a passage he dedicated his life toward fulfilling.
