Autorenporträt
Richard Heber Newton (1840-1914) was an esteemed Episcopal priest and author known for his progressive theological views and eloquent preaching. Born in Philadelphia, Newton was ordained in 1861 and served in various churches, ultimately settling for a long tenure at All Souls' Church in New York City. With a deep interest in reconciling faith with modern thought, Newton published several works to advance his vision of Christianity, including the notable 'The Right and Wrong Uses of the Bible' (1888). This book reflects his conviction that the Bible should be read in its historical context and not as a literal scientific guide, an idea that was quite controversial at his time. Newton's literary style was characterized by clarity and a persuasive tone that aimed to encourage religious thought in line with contemporary intellectual developments. His forward-thinking stance placed him at the forefront of the Broad Church movement within Anglicanism, which emphasized a liberal approach to doctrinal interpretation. Throughout his career, Newton remained a significant influence on both religious scholars and lay readers, contributing to a deeper and more nuanced understanding of scripture in a rapidly changing world.
