John Trapp

John Trapp (1601–1669) war ein englischer anglikanischer Geistlicher, Schulleiter und puritanischer Theologe, der vor allem in und um Stratford-upon-Avon wirkte. Bekannt ist er für seinen vollständigen Bibelkommentar zum Alten und Neuen Testament, der sich durch gelehrte Verweise, historische Anekdoten und pointierte Aphorismen auszeichnet. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet sein Werk einen sprachlich prägnanten und praxisnahen Zugang zur reformierten Schriftauslegung des 17. Jahrhunderts.
