Frederick William Grant (1834–1902) was a Brethren biblical scholar, renowned for his studies in the structural and numerical form and content. F. W. Grant was born on 25 July 1834 in the Putney area of London. Educated at King's College School, London in the hope of eventual employment in the British War Office, when this course failed, he emigrated to Canada, initially joining and being ordained into the Anglican Church there. He moved again to the USA and New York, finding a final home in New Jersey. He became associated with a group of exclusive brethren which eventually became known as the Grant fellowship. He published numerous books based on his scriptural studies and in 1880 "Help and Food" a monthly magazine was launched and edited by Grant until his death. He died in Plainfield, New Jersey on the 25th July 1902 which coincidentally was his 68 birthday.
F. W. Grant was born in the Putney district of London, on 25th July, 1834. His conversion was occasioned by the reading of the Scriptures himself, and not through the instrumentality of others. He was educated at King�s College School with the expectation of securing a position in the War Office. The necessary influence for this failing, he went to Canada when he was twenty-one years of age.
At the time he came to Canada the Church of England was opening parishes in the new parts of the country, and he was examined and ordained to the ministry without having taken the regular college course. He left the 'systems' on receiving light through the reading of the literature published by so-called 'brethren', and lived for a time in Toronto, afterwards coming to the United States, where he lived in the city of Brooklyn, and then in Plainfield, N.J., till his death. He was the leader in what is known as 'the Grant party' in America.
