Andrew Murray, born 9 May 1828 in Graaff Reinet, South Africa, served as a writer, teacher, and Christian pastor until his death on 18 January 1917 aged 88 in Wellington, South Africa.

In The master's indwelling, Murrays writing style employs simple devotional prose blending scriptural exposition with personal exhortation, creating accessible meditations from conference addresses that guide readers through spiritual stages with earnest clarity. Themes of carnal versus spiritual maturity dominate, contrasting self-reliant believers stalled in sin struggles with those yielding to Holy Spirit indwelling for transformative surrender and victory. His reflective tone stresses complete self-sacrifice, waiting on God, and Christ-centered rest, weaving motifs of divine empowerment, humility, and prayerful dependence to foster progression from religious infancy to vibrant faith life marked by joy, obedience, and supernatural fruitfulness.
