Biographical
John Gottlieb Matteson (1835-1896) was a leading missionary to Scandinavian people in North America and Europe. Following his conversion to Seventh-day Adventism in 1863, he published many tracts and articles, some of which found their way to Scandinavia. The Europeans requested he come there, which he did in 1877. He was very successful as an evangelist and administrator. He established the first non-American SDA conference in Denmark, two periodicals and a publishing house. Due to his efforts, many missionaries flowed from Scandinavia to all parts of the world.
