Author's Biography
Уильям Баркли (5 декабря 1907 г., Уик - 24 января 1978 г., Глазго) был шотландским автором, радио- и телеведущим, министром Церкви Шотландии и профессором богословия и библейской критики в Университете Глазго.
Личные взгляды Баркли, выраженные в его собственной Духовной автобиографии (1977 г.) и биографии Клайва Л. Роллинса "Уильям Баркли: пророк доброй воли: авторизованная биография" (1998 г.), включали:
- скептицизм по поводу Троицы: например, "В Новом Завете нигде не идентифицируется Иисус с Богом".
- веру в универсальное спасение: в своей автобиографии он написал: "Я убежденный универсалист. Я верю, что в конце концов все люди будут собраны в любовь Бога".
- пацифизм: "война - это массовое убийство".
