John Wilbur Chapman was born on June 17, 1859, Richmond, Indiana, United States. He was the son of Alexander Hamilton Chapman and his wife Lorinda McWhinney. At sixteen years of age he united with the Presbyterian Church.
He spent one year at Oberlin College but graduated from Lake Forest University in 1879 and from Lane Theological Seminary in 1882. He was ordained the same year to the Presbyterian ministry.
His principal pastorates were the First Reformed Church, Albany; the Bethany Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia; and the Fourth Presbyterian Church, New York. Eventually he gave up the pastorate for evangelism. He served as executive secretary of the General Assembly's Committee on evangelistic work for the Presbyterian Church and also as the moderator of the national body. On his evangelistic tours he traveled to Australia, Asia, and Great Britain, and he had an international reputation in his chosen field. He insisted on the divine nature of Christ, his atoning work and personal return. To secure allegiance to Christ was the purpose of each address. With burning conviction and consuming zeal he preached the gospel; he never spared himself and suffered thirteen serious breakdowns in health. His writings were largely evangelistic and echoes of his preaching. Chief among them were The Secret of a Happy Day (1899); The Surrendered Life (1899); Spiritual Life in the Sunday School (1899); From Life to Life (1900); Received Ye the Holy Ghost (1900); And Peter (1900); Revivals and Missions (1900); Life of D. L. Moody (1900); Present Day Evangelism (1903); The Problem of the Work (1911); Present Day Parables (1911); Chapman's Pocket Sermons (1911); Revival Sermons (1911); When Home Is Heaven (1917).

He was above the average height, with a strong compact frame and great capacity for sustained labor. His voice was mellow, musical, and appealing. His sermons were lucid and definitely outlined.
He was married three times: to Irene E. Steddom, May 10, 1882; to Agnes Pruyn Strain, November 4, 1888; to Mabel Cornelia Moulton, August 30, 1910.
