William Burt Pope

William Burt Pope

William Burt Pope (1822 – 1903) was an English Christian theologian in the Methodist tradition.

Ordained in 1842, Pope became a successful linguist and translator of German anti-rationalist critics. He taught at Didsbury Wesleyan College in Manchester, England from 1867 to 1886. His greatest work, "Compendium of Christian Theology" (1875-1876), set forth influential arguments for the "holiness doctrine of all Methodist systematic theology" and defended Methodist doctrine against its critics.
