Frederick F. Bruce (1910-1990) was a British scholar.
Biography
Frederick Fyvie (F. F.) Bruce (1910–1990) was a Scottish evangelical biblical scholar. Bruce was as much an apologist for the Christian faith as he was a scholar. His most popular work is probably the little volume The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? (1943), but Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free (1977) is Bruce’s primary contribution to Paul scholarship and a text that typifies evangelical scholarship on Paul. Bruce was the Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, England from 1959 until his retirement in 1978. He also taught at Edinburgh, Leeds and Sheffield. Bruce served as the Editor of the Evangelical Quarterly and the Palestinian Exploration Quarterly, as well as the General Editor of the New International Commentary on the New Testament series from 1962 until his death in 1990. Although considered a specialist in Paul, Bruce devoted special attention to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Second Temple Jewish History. - Ronald Ruark, University of Michigan
