George Bull (1634 - 1710), theologian and Bishop of St David's.

He was born at Wells, educated at Tiverton and Oxford, took orders, was ordained by an ejected bishop in 1658, and received the living of Suddington near Bristol.

He was a strong Royalist, and allegedly supported a scheme for restoring the monarchy. After the Restoration he was made a canon of Gloucester and in 1686 Archdeacon of Llandaff, and became in 1704 Bishop of St. David's at an age when his strength had become unequal to any very active discharge of the duties of his see.

He has a high place among Anglican theologians, and as a defender of the doctrine of the Trinity was congratulated on Bossuet's initiative by the General Assembly of the French Clergy.

Works

Among his works are "Harmonia Apostolica" (1669-70) in which he endeavoured to reconcile alleged discrepancies between the teaching of St. Paul and St. James on the relation between faith and works, in which he assigned to the latter the higher authority, "Defensio Fidei Nicaenae" (1685) and "Corruptions of the Church of Rome".
