George Dana Boardman (1828–1903) was the son of missionaries George Dana Boardman Sr. and Sarah Hall Boardman. Born in Burma, Boardman studied at the Newton Theological Institution and then pastored the Barnwell Baptist Church in South Carolina—a position which he lost due to his abolitionist views. He was eventually president of the American Baptist Missionary Union. His Titles of Wednesday Evening Lectures represents a commentary on the whole Bible, compiling nearly 1,000 lectures delivered between 1865 and 1880.
