George Henry Lang (20 November 1874 – 20 October 1958) was an English Bible teacher, author, and biblical scholar. Of his Christian contemporaries, Lang was influenced by the writings of G.H. Pember, C.H. Spurgeon, Arthur Tappan Pierson, and George Müller. Today, some admirers of G.H. Lang remember him as one of the few Bible expositors who, in the past 150 years, saw the ‘ground of the church’. He argued that the ground of the church is essentially related to the practical oneness of all the believers in Christ.
Lang was born in Greenwich. His mother died shortly after Lang’s birth, and he was raised under the influence of his Christian father. Lang made a profession of the Christian faith and dedicated his life to Jesus Christ at 7 years old. His family belonged to the Exclusive Brethren; but later in life, he affiliated himself with the Open Brethren. Lang held the belief that the only qualification for a believer was having made a sincere profession of faith. For this one belief, Lang is considered by some Plymouth Brethren as the most controversial figure since Darby regarding the administration of the Church affairs. Later in Lang’s life and teachings, he challenged Darby’s “federation view” of the church and stressed the local fellowship’s autonomy and independence.
