If you stood alone, it would be presumption to hope. Because you are not alone, it is offence to tremble.

Henry Law

Henry Law war ein englischer anglikanischer Geistlicher des 19. Jahrhunderts und langjähriger Dekan der Kathedrale von Gloucester. Als Vertreter des evangelikalen Flügels seiner Kirche wurde er vor allem durch Werke wie „Christ is All“ bekannt, in denen er das Alte Testament konsequent christozentrisch und typologisch auslegte. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Verfasser seelsorglicher Andachten und Kommentare, die alttestamentliche Vorbilder und Texte auf das Erlösungswerk Jesu Christi beziehen.
