Harold H. Buls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harold Herman Buls (1920-1997) was an American Lutheran minister and apologist who taught at Alabama Lutheran Academy and College in Selma, at Immanuel Lutheran College and Seminary in Greensboro, North Carolina, and as Professor of Exegesis at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana.[1] He served as a missionary in Nigeria, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Eritrea.[2] His collected notes include "homiletical maxims"[3] and "exegetical guidelines for bible study and preaching".[4]

As an apologist for Martin Luther and the Lutheran tradition, Buls set out his view that:

"Luther's understanding of Scripture was superb, and this made him a superb translator of Scripture. Who but Lutherans rightly understand the nature of faith? Who but Lutherans understand faith in the manner portrayed by Luther's explanation of the third article of the Creed in the Small Catechism? Who but Lutherans rightly understand Jesus at Luke 8:11: 'The seed is the Word of God'?"[5]
