Although ordained to the Baptist ministry, he never held a pastorate. From 1871 to 1881 he was a member of the New Testament Company of the Anglo-American Bible Revision Committee. He was the author of: Life and Letters of Mrs. Emily C. Judson (New York, 1860); Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews (Philadelphia, 1889); and The Moral Conflict of Humanity, and other Papers (1894). He likewise collaborated on several biographies, and revised the translation of H. Olshausen's Biblical Commentary on the New Testament (6 vols., New York, 1836-58), besides translating C. B. Moll's commentary on Hebrews for the American Lange commentary (1868) and H. A. W. Meyer's commentary on John (1884).
