Frederick Fyvie Bruce (1910–1990) was a Bible scholar, and one of the founders of the modern evangelical understanding of the Bible. His work, New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? (read online free) is considered a classic in the discipline of Christian apologetics. Bruce was a dedicated member of the Open Plymouth Brethren, though he did not subscribe to the dispensationalism usually associated with that movement.
Bruce was educated at the University of Aberdeen, Cambridge University, and the University of Vienna. After teaching Greek at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Leeds, he came to the University of Sheffield in 1947, heading the Department of Biblical History and Literature. In 1959 he moved to the University of Manchester where he taught as Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis until his retirement in 1978.
Bruce wrote thirty-three books and served as editor of The Evangelical Quarterly and The Palestine Exploration Quarterly. He was a distinguished scholar on the life and ministry of Paul the Apostle, and wrote several studies, the best known of which is Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free. His Greek commentary on Acts is still regarded as one of the best on that book, and his other commentaries are of consistently high quality, especially his Greek commentary on Galatians.
Bruce viewed the New Testament as historically reliable and insisted that the truth claims of Christianity hinged on its being so. To Bruce this did not mean that the Bible was always precise, and this lack of precision could lead to considerable confusion. However, he believed that the ambiguous passages were ones that had no substantial bearing on Christian theology and thinking. –Condensed from Wikipedia
