John Murray

Der schottisch-amerikanische Theologe John Murray lehrte von 1930 bis 1966 Systematische Theologie am konservativen Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. Er prägte die reformierte Dogmatik durch eine streng an der Schriftexegese orientierte Methode und Werke wie „Redemption Accomplished and Applied“, stieß jedoch im eigenen Lager mit seiner Modifikation der klassischen Bundestheologie auf theologische Kritik. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt sein Werk einen systematisch präzisen Zugang zur reformierten Heilslehre, insbesondere zum Römerbrief und zum Verständnis der Vereinigung mit Christus.
