God had revealed His holiness to Israel; and He wished them to consider it the “beauty” of His nature…He considers His holiness as the true luster of His character, as that by which He will be best known.

Edward Reynolds
Edward Reynolds (1599–1676) war ein englischer Geistlicher, Theologe und Bischof von Norwich. Er wirkte an der presbyterianischen Westminster-Synode mit, verfasste das allgemeine Dankgebet im anglikanischen Book of Common Prayer und geriet wegen seiner kirchenpolitischen Kompromisse zwischen Puritanern und Episkopalen in die Kritik beider Seiten. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als reformierter Ausleger mit seelsorglicher Menschenkenntnis und prägnanter Gebetssprache.
