William Burt Pope (1822 – 1903) was an English Christian theologian in the Methodist tradition. ==Life== He was born at Horton, Nova Scotia, on 19 February 1822. He was the younger son of John Pope, and younger brother of George Uglow Pope. After education at a village school at Hooe and at a secondary school at Saltash, near Plymouth, William spent a year in boyhood (1837-8) at Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, assisting an uncle, a shipbuilder and general merchant. He was accepted, in 1840, by the Methodist synod of Cornwall as a candidate for the ministry, and entered the Methodist Theological Institution at Hoxton. In 1842, he began his active ministry at Kingsbridge, Devonshire. Ordained in 1842, Pope became a successful linguist and translator of German anti-rationalist critics. He taught at Didsbury Wesleyan College in Manchester, England from 1867 to 1886. His greatest work, ''Compendium of Christian Theology'' (1875-1876), set forth influential arguments for the "holiness doctrine of all Methodist systematic theology" and defended Methodist doctrine against its critics. He died on 5 July 1903, and was buried in Abney Park Cemetery, London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Burt Pope」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
