George Edmundson was an Anglican clerical scholar. Edmundson graduated from Magdalen College, Oxford in 1870, was ordained in 1872; and served as vicar of Northolt, Middlesex.
His work, The Church of Rome in the First Century: the Bampton Lectures for 1913 was published in 1913. The late J. A. T. Robinson praised the book and remarked in his Redating the New Testament (1977) that the book was largely ignored when it was published, perhaps because the author was not a professional New Testament scholar and his conclusions differed from almost all the "assured results" of the "higher criticism" of the day.
