Jeremy Taylor

Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667) war ein englischer Theologe, königlicher Kaplan und späterer anglikanischer Bischof in Irland. Er wurde durch sprachmächtige Erbauungsschriften wie „Holy Living“ und „Holy Dying“ bekannt, geriet jedoch wegen Abweichungen von der traditionellen Erbsündenlehre und seiner Amtsführung in Irland auch in die Kritik. Heutigen Bibellesern bieten seine Werke klassische Anleitungen zu christlicher Lebensführung, Gebet und seelsorgerlicher Sterbebegleitung.
