Thomas Ephraim Peck was an American Presbyterian minister, theologian, author, and teacher who served in key pastorates in Maryland and Virginia, co-edited influential Presbyterian periodicals, and spent over three decades as a beloved professor of church history and systematic theology at Union Theological Seminary.
