February 17, 1913–October 22, 2004

Louis Bouyer (1913–2004) was a member of the French Oratory and one of the most respected and visionary Catholic scholars and theologians of his time.

Formerly a Lutheran minister, he entered the Catholic Church in 1939. Bouyer wrote over fifty works, a number of which have been remembered and recovered by CLUNY, including his superb The Bible and the Gospel and Christian Initiation.
