Frederick Fyvie BruceFBA (12 October 1910 – 11 September 1990) was a Scottishevangelical scholar, author and educator who wasRylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at theUniversity of Manchester from 1959 until 1978. He believed that Evangelicals should not turn their backs on academic methods of Bible study, even if the results might differ from traditional evangelical views. As a result, he has been called the "Dean of Evangelical Scholarship".^[1]

"The issues which, for Bruce, were non-negotiable," said his biographer Tim Grass, "may be summarized as the reliability of the New Testament, the person and work of Christ, the Christian life as one of forgiveness and liberty as befits those who are being led by the Spirit, and the right and duty of every believer to use whatever gifts God has given them."^[2]

Bruce was born inElgin, Moray,Scotland, in 1910. His father, Peter Fyvie Bruce, was an itinerant evangelist for thePlymouth Brethren.^[3] He encouraged his son to think for himself and accept as a biblical doctrine only what he could see for himself in the Bible.

He was encouraged by his family to pursue his education, and was noted for his intellect.^[4] He studied Latin and Greek at theUniversity of Aberdeen where he won a scholarship in the Classics and received a master's degree.

At Aberdeen, he also met Betty Davidson, who was from aBrethren family, and they married in 1936. They had two children. Their son, Iain, married and became a professor atMemorial University, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.^[5] And while lecturing at a teacher training college inUganda, their daughter Sheila married Christopher James Lukabyo.^[6]

After Aberdeen, Bruce studied classics atGonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He then went toUniversity of Vienna in Austria to study Indo-European philology withPaul Kretschmer and others.

Although he intended to study for a Ph.D. at Vienna, Bruce took a post as an assistant lecturer in Greek at theUniversity of Edinburgh and then taught Greek at theUniversity of Leeds.^[7] He never earned a doctorate, although he received several honorary doctorates. His increasing focus on biblical studies led, in 1947, to his becoming the first head of a new Department of Biblical History and Literature atSheffield University.^[8] In 1959, he was offered theRylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis atManchester University, a position he held until his retirement in 1978.

About the time Bruce began at Sheffield, he was also "active in the formation and early development of an evangelical agency seeking to promote academic biblical study,Tyndale House atCambridge and the associated Tyndale Fellowship for Biblical and Theological Research."^[9] These were formed in association with Inter Varsity Fellowship (laterUCCF, The Christian Unions) and Bruce had a life-long association with this student organization.

A prolific author, Bruce wrote nearly sixty books and booklets, hundreds of articles and more than 2,000 book reviews. Early in his career, he editedVine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words and supervised its publication in one volume from the original four volumes. Later in his career, he was named general editor of theNew International Commentary of the New Testament after the death ofNed Stonehouse, the previous editor. He was also editor of theYorkshire Celtic Studies, theEvangelical Quarterly, theJournal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, and thePalestine Exploration Quarterly.

The first book Bruce wrote,Are the New Testament Documents Reliable? (1943) was "based to a large extent on talks given to students."^[10] It was widely read andChristianity Today named it one of "the top 50 books that have shaped Evangelicals."^[11]

He wrote commentaries on Habakkuk (inThe Minor Prophets, ed. by Thomas Edward McComiskey, Baker, 1992), Matthew, John, Acts (one on the Greek text and one on the English text), Romans, 1 & 2, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Philemon, Hebrews, and the Epistles of John.

He wrote several history books:Israel and the Nations: from the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple; New Testament History: Jews, Romans, and the Church; andThe Spreading Flame: The Rise and Progress of Christianity from Its First Beginnings to Eighth-Century England. He explained, "I have written as a historian, not as a theologian."^[12]

Bruce'smagnum opus (according toTheology Today) was his biography of Paul, published in England asPaul: Apostle of the Free Spirit and in America asPaul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free. The magazineChristian History said that aside from the New Testament, "the place to begin (exploring the life of Paul) is F.F. Bruce's ... most readable and engaging biography of Paul." However, Robert Morgan, writing inThe Journal of Theological Studies, claimed "a certain uncontroversial flatness about what we are told of Paul's thought."^[13] Bruce might well agree with Morgan, for, asA.R. Millard said, "Readers of Bruce's extensive writings will look in vain for novel theories or speculative hypotheses spun to exhibit the Author's intellectual caliber, the sort of work that wins momentary acclaim and then is superseded. Rather, his works evaluate evidence and interpretations carefully and honestly in spare yet readable prose, lightened with amusing examples and flashes of dry wit."^[14]

Bruce viewed the New Testament writings as historically reliable and the truth claims of Christianity as hinging on their being so. To Bruce, this did not mean that the Bible was always precise or that this lack of precision could not lead to some confusion. He believed, however, that the passages that were still open to debate were ones that had no substantial bearing on Christian theology and thinking. Bruce's colleague at Manchester,James Barr, considered Bruce a "conservative liberal."^[15][16]

Bruce was honoured with two scholarly works by his colleagues and former students, one to mark his 60th birthday in 1970 and the other to mark his 70th birthday in 1980.

Apostolic History and the Gospel: Biblical and Historical Essays Presented to F.F. Bruce on his 60th Birthday (1970) included contributions fromE. M. Blaiklock,E. Earle Ellis,I. Howard Marshall,Bruce M. Metzger,William Barclay,G. E. Ladd,A. R. Millard,Leon Morris,Bo Reicke, andDonald Guthrie.

Pauline Studies: Essays Presented to Professor F.F. Bruce on his 70th Birthday (1980) included contributions fromPeter T. O'Brien,David Wenham,Ronald E. Clements, andMoisés Silva.C. F. D. Moule andRobert H. Gundry contributed to both volumes.

Bruce was elected aFellow of the British Academy, and in 1965 served as president of theSociety for Old Testament Study,^[17] and also as President of theStudiorum Novi Testamenti Societas in 1975. However, "the award that pleased him most," saidAlan Millard, "was the honorary D.D. conferred by hisalma mater, Aberdeen, in 1957."^[18]
