History
John Cumming (November 10, 1807 – July 5, 1881) was a Scottish clergyman. In 1832, Cumming was appointed to the Crown Court Church in Covent Garden, London, a Church of Scotland congregation that catered for Scots living in London. He was a controversial figure in his day, with George Eliot being the most prominent figure to have written denouncing Cumming's anti-Catholicism, obsession with the End Times, and perceived intellectual dishonesty. Cumming retired in 1879. In total, he published approximately 180 books during his lifetime.
