British professor Frederick Fyvie Bruce (1910 1990) was one of the most influential biblical scholars of the twentieth century, and his career offers valuable insights into how evangelicals have addressed two significant problems continually facing them: (1) how to relate academic theology and church life and (2) how to be acknowledged as credible interpreters of the Bible.
In this first book-length biography of F. F. Bruce, Tim Grass outlines the life and thought of this notable scholar. With originality, insight, and a keen grasp of the implications for the church today, Grass integrates Bruce?'s formative years and family life with both his remarkable academic career and his activity as a lifelong member of the Open Brethren.
