À propos de l'auteur

Philip Schaff was a Swiss-born, German-educated Protestant theologian, church historian, editor, and biblical scholar who became one of the most influential religious scholars in nineteenth-century America. Born in 1819, Schaff studied in Europe before moving to the United States, where he taught theology and church history and helped shape American Protestant scholarship through his writing, editing, and translation work.Schaff is best remembered for his multi-volume History of the Christian Church and for his editorial role in major reference and translation projects, including works connected to biblical study, church history, creeds, and Christian doctrine. His scholarship combined broad historical learning with a commitment to making serious theological and biblical material available to pastors, students, teachers, and educated lay readers. A Dictionary of the Bible reflects that same purpose: to give readers a reliable older guide to the language, history, geography, and religious world of Scripture.
