What a man rejoices in is a fair test of his character. To be glad when evil prevails, or to rejoice in the misfortunes of others is indicative of great moral degradation.

Graham Scroggie

William Graham Scroggie war ein britischer baptistischer Theologe, Prediger und Buchautor, der in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts unter anderem an der Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh und am Londoner Metropolitan Tabernacle wirkte. Er war bekannt für seine heilsgeschichtliche Bibelauslegung und prägte über Jahrzehnte als profilierter Lehrer die britische Keswick-Bewegung. Für heutige Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften vor allem methodisch und didaktisch klar strukturierte Übersichten über die großen Zusammenhänge der Heiligen Schrift.
