William Law

William Law (1686–1761) war ein englischer Geistlicher und theologischer Schriftsteller, der nach der Verweigerung des Treueeids auf Georg I. vor allem in King’s Cliffe lebte und wirkte. Er forderte in einflussreichen Erbauungswerken wie „A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life“ eine radikale, praktische Nachfolge Christi, während seine spätere Hinwendung zur theosophischen Mystik Jakob Böhmes theologische Kritik von Zeitgenossen wie John Wesley auslöste. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein Werk pointierte Impulse zu einer Frömmigkeit, die Gebet, persönliche Disziplin und tätige Nächstenliebe im Alltag zusammenführt.
