Charles Joseph Little was born on September 21, 1840 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, the son of Thomas Rowell and Ann (Zimmermann) Little. On his father's side he was descended from George Little who came from England to Massachusetts in 1640.
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1861. Later he studied in Europe from 1869 to 1872.
In 1862 Little was admitted to the Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He served pastorates at Newark, Delaware, Saint James and Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia; Springfield, Pennsylvania, and Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. His exceptional abilities were soon recognized and he was called from the pastorate into the educational field, becoming teacher of mathematics in Dickinson Seminary in 1867.
Later he spent two years in the pastorate of Christ Church, Philadelphia, and then became professor of philosophy and history in Dickinson College. In 1885 he was made professor of logic and history in Syracuse University, and in 1891 was elected to the chair of church history in Garrett Biblical Institute. He became president of the Institute in 1895 and held that position to the day of his death. Little believed in a thoroughgoing theological education in the old-time essentials. His administration covered the years of transition in higher criticism, and while the battle raged most fiercely he was steady as a rock, holding fast to old truths and welcoming all new light.
He was a member of the General Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1888, 1892, 1896, 1900, 1904, and 1908. He was a man of power and influence in his church, and in every community of which he became a part, and an orator of great impressiveness upon special occasions. As a delegate to the Methodist Centennial Conference at Baltimore in 1884 he made one of the notable addresses, and at the British Wesleyan Conference in 1900 he delivered the Fernley Lecture, Christianity and the Nineteenth Century (1900). It was a strong presentation of the value and permanence of an experimental religion, maintaining itself against all the reactions of rationalism.
The conditions of the Fernley lectureship necessitated the publication of that lecture, but The Angel in the Flame (1904), a series of sermons preached in First Church, Evanston, was published only at the solicitation of the Methodist Book Concern. These sermons, while they illustrate Little's power of clear thinking and vivid expression, hardly show him at his best. In 1916 he issued his book Biographical and Literary Studies. The papers and addresses here gathered together suggest the wide range of his interests and his grasp on many subjects, literary, historical, and religious. The memorial volume of 1912 (post) contains eight of his addresses and essays.

Little appeared to be an inexhaustible fountain of information, giving the impression of encyclopaedic knowledge available at a moment's notice. He was extraordinarily versatile and a remarkable conversationalist; his phenomenal memory seemed to retain all he had read. He had a temperamental aversion to the publishing of books.
In 1872 Little married Anna Marina Elizabeth Bahn, the daughter of Dr. Carl Bahn.
