The grief of repentance is never loss in any way; not to experience this grief, that is loss indeed.

— R.C.H. Lenski (1864–1936), Kommentator

R.C.H. Lenski

Richard Charles Henry Lenski (1864–1936) war ein deutsch-US-amerikanischer lutherischer Theologe, Pfarrer und Seminarprofessor in Columbus, Ohio. Bekannt ist er für seinen monumentalen, eng am griechischen Grundtext orientierten Kommentar zum gesamten Neuen Testament, dessen grammatikalische Exegese von der neueren Sprachwissenschaft jedoch als teils starr und methodisch veraltet eingestuft wird. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet sein Werk eine detaillierte Vers-für-Vers-Auslegung aus einer strikt altkonfessionell lutherischen Perspektive.
