A person's life is never lonely when he has Moses and the prophets, yes, our Lord Jesus Christ himself, as a friend.

Harold St. John

Harold St. John (1876–1957) war ein britischer Bibellehrer, Prediger und Evangelist aus der offenen Brüderbewegung, der nach langjähriger Tätigkeit als Bankangestellter als weltweiter Reisedozent wirkte. Er stand für eine christuszentrierte typologische Schriftauslegung, die durch rhetorische Klarheit und bildhafte Vergleiche geprägt war. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch gedruckte Vorträge und Auslegungen, die theologische Tiefe mit praktischer Glaubensnachfolge verbinden.
