American historian (1902–1984)
Paul Woolley (16 March 1902 – 17 March 1984) was an American pastor and professor.
Born 16 March 1902, to a pastor of the Moody Church in Chicago, Woolley grew up in The Plains, Ohio.[1] During a visit to Germany, in preparation to visit China as a missionary, he married a Russian countess.[2] Along with J. Gresham Machen, he was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, but they were suspended following its split, with them—alongside others—organizng the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in 1936.[1][3]
Woolley was a professor of Church history at Westminster Theological Seminary from its inception in 1929 until his retirement in 1977.[4] In 1982, a Festschrift was published in his honor.[2] John Calvin: His Influence in the Western World included essays by W. Stanford Reid, W. Robert Godfrey, Philip Edgcumbe Hughes, R. T. Kendall, George M. Marsden, and C. Gregg Singer.[5]
Woolley had two children. He died on 17 March 1984, aged 82, at OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital, in Athens.[1]
The Paul Woolley Chair of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary is named in his honor.[6]
