B. H. Streeter

Burnett Hillman Streeter FBA[4] (17 November 1874 – 10 September 1937) was an English Anglican theologian, biblical scholar, and textual critic.

He was Dean Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture at the University of Oxford from 1932 to 1933, when he became Provost of Queen's College.

[7][verification needed] In this work, he also developed the theory of "local texts" in the manuscript transmission of the New Testament (pp. 27–50).

Streeter and his wife, Irene, were the only passengers on a Koolhoven FK.50, HB-AMO which crashed into Mount Kelleköpfli on a flight from Bern to Basel on 10 September 1937.

The pilot Walter Eberschweiler and the Streeters were killed immediately, while the radio operator/navigator Hans Huggler survived the accident, but was severely injured.
