Anders Nygren (1890 – 1978) was a Swedish Lutheran theologian. He was professor of systematic theology at Lund University from 1924 and was elected Bishop of Lund in 1948 (emeritus 1958). He is best known for his two-volume work Agape and Eros. Nygren's approach, along with that of Gustaf Aulén, characterizes what is referred to as “Lundensian Theology”. Nygren, like his peer Bishop Gustaf Aulen (of Strangnas) , was rather traditional and conservative, entirely in a laudable way. He is learned, graceful, irenic and open to exploring ideas in an ecumenical fashion. He is not out to bludgeon opponents or champion inordinately either Lutheranism or the Church of Sweden. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 104 pages .
