Autorenportrait

<div><p><b>Horace Bushnell</b> (1802-1876) was an American Congregational clergyman, controversial theologian, and preacher.&#xa0; His theological position opposed Calvinistic orthodoxy, criticizing the prevailing conceptions of the Trinity, human connection to the sublime, theology as fact, and conversion. His view of religion was more spiritual and feelings-based. He wrote<i>Nature and the Supernatural</i> (1858);<i>The Vicarious Sacrifice</i> (1866), on personal atonement;<i>God in Christ</i> (1849), on the Trinity and our finite apprehension of God; and<i>Christ in Theology</i> (1851), a discussion on spiritual truths and the fallacy of dogmatic theology.</p></div>
