Johnson was born on October 15, 1841, in Troy, New York, the son of Elias Johnson, who had moved from Massachusetts to Troy, where he became a prosperous manufacturer of stoves. The mother was Laura Gale, a Vermont woman. While both parents were religious, it was her influence which was especially penetrating and enduring.
Elias early decided to enter the ministry and he began his preparatory work in the Troy high school, completing it at Essex, Connecticut. His college course was taken at the University of Rochester, where he ranked well as a student, receiving the degree of A. B. in 1862. Having applied himself too assiduously to his studies, he postponed his theological course for a year, averting idleness by studying law. His health broke again during his first year in Rochester Theological Seminary, and in April 1864 he entered the paymaster's service in the navy, having some sea service in the later months of the war; he did not retire until August 1866.
Going to the Northwest in the hope that the climate would prove beneficial, Johnson was ordained to the Baptist ministry, December 9, 1866, and served the church at Lesueur, Minnesota, for about two years. Returning to Rochester in 1868, he pursued the three years' theological course there, graduating in 1871. His interest in music was always strong and he was active both as chorister and as composer. The condition of his health made immediate assumption of ministerial labors unwise, and with his wife he spent two years abroad, where he engaged in travel and study. Upon his return, after a short pastorate at Ballston Spa, New York (November 1873 - February 1875), he was called to Brown Street Baptist Church, Providence, Rhode Island, continuing as pastor after it became the Union Baptist Church. Here he built up a reputation as a strong preacher, virile in thought and effective in expression.
Johnson declined the chair of church history at Rochester Theological Seminary, but in 1882 became professor of systematic theology at Crozier Theological Seminary, where his most distinctive work was done. His chief theological writings were Outline of Systematic Theology (1891, 1901); Religious Use of Imagination (1901); The Holy Spirit, Then and Now (1904); and the posthumously published Christian Agnosticism as Related to Christian Knowledge: The Critical Principle in Theology (1907).
Johnson died on March 10, 1906, in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Johnson was an ardent champion of freedom of speech and one of the most influential leaders in the organization of the Baptist Congress, which afforded a platform more open for the independent utterance of varying views than was to be found elsewhere even in such free organizations as his denomination provided.
Johnson was a man of intense nervous temperament, acutely sensitive to esthetic values, keen in logical power.
On February 14, 1867, Johnson married Mary Anna Lyon. His first wife died in December 1904, and on September 2, 1905, about six months before his own death, he married Lillian Morgan.
