C. F. D. Moule (1908-2007)

The Telegraph:
The Reverend Professor CFD Moule, who died yesterday aged 98, was one of the leading New Testament scholars of his day; he held the Lady Margaret's Chair of Divinity at Cambridge from 1951 to 1976, having previously been Dean of Clare College and before that vice-principal of Ridley Hall.

An attractive personality allied to great erudition and exceptional gifts as a teacher made him a popular Cambridge figure for more than 40 years, and his influence in the field of New Testament studies was considerable.
