Christian holiness is not a matter of painstaking conformity to the individual precepts of an external law code; it is rather a question of the Holy Spirit’s producing His fruit in the life, reproducing those graces which were seen in perfection in the life of Christ.
— F.F. Bruce (1910–1990), Bibelwissenschaftler

Frederick Fyvie Bruce (1910–1990) war ein schottischer Bibelwissenschaftler und Professor für biblische Kritik und Exegese an der Universität Manchester. Er verband historisch-philologische Forschung mit bibeltreuer Theologie, geriet jedoch wegen seiner Offenheit gegenüber modernen Strömungen und egalitären Positionen bei strengen Konservativen in die Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser bleiben seine nüchternen Kommentare und Studien zur neutestamentlichen Geschichte eine wichtige Referenz zur historischen Kontextualisierung der Schrift.
