Growth in sanctification follows fixed laws, and I must obey them – much prayer, real study of Scripture, self-discipline and discipline of thought. That is God's way for me.

Harold St. John

Harold St. John (1876–1957) war ein britischer Bibellehrer, Prediger und Evangelist aus der offenen Brüderbewegung, der nach langjähriger Tätigkeit als Bankangestellter als weltweiter Reisedozent wirkte. Er stand für eine christuszentrierte typologische Schriftauslegung, die durch rhetorische Klarheit und bildhafte Vergleiche geprägt war. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch gedruckte Vorträge und Auslegungen, die theologische Tiefe mit praktischer Glaubensnachfolge verbinden.
