Arthur Charles Gook

Arthur Charles Gook (11 June 1883 – 1959) in London, England is primarily known today for having translated Reverend Hallgrímur Pétursson's ''Passion Hymns'' into English.

The third of five sons, Arthur Gook's father was a teacher. Gook distinguished himself as a student and won a university scholarship. His father, having taken up a new profession as an estate agent, would not allow him to attend a university. Instead, Gook was made to work in the family business. Later, he became personal secretary to a London publisher, and it was there he trained for the literary and publishing work he undertook later in life.

Arther Gook was converted in a Bible class, and the Bible became his favourite book. He determined to reform his life and joined with the Open Brethren, which was a branch of the Plymouth Brethren religious sect. Provided by Wikipedia
