Edward Bouverie Pusey (/ˈpjuːzi/; 22 August 1800 – 16 September 1882) was an English Anglican cleric, for more than fifty years Regius Professor of Hebrew at the University of Oxford.

His mother, Lady Lucy Pusey, the only daughter of Robert Sherard, 4th Earl of Harborough, was the widow of Sir Thomas Cave, 7th Baronet, MP before her marriage to his father in 1798.

Among his siblings was older brother Philip Pusey and sister Charlotte married Richard Lynch Cotton.

[4][5] In 1819 Pusey became a commoner of Christ Church, a college at the University of Oxford, where Thomas Vowler Short was his tutor.

[8] That year, also, the Duke of Wellington as Prime Minister appointed Pusey as Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, with the associated canonry of Christ Church.

Some occasions when Pusey preached at his university marked distinct stages for the High Church philosophy he promoted.

The 1853 sermon on The Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, first formulated the doctrine which became largely the basis for the theology of his devotees, and transformed the practices of Anglican worship.

His sermon at the university during May 1843, The Holy Eucharist, a Comfort to the Penitent caused him to be suspended for two years from preaching.

When Dodgson Sr. mourned the death of his wife (Carroll's mother), Pusey wrote to him: I have often thought, since I had to think of this, how, in all adversity, what God takes away He may give us back with increase.

He had few personal friends, and rarely mingled with general society; though harsh to opponents, he was gentle to those who knew him, and gave freely to charities.

Rose's State of Protestantism in Germany Described has been called "over-simplified and polemical", and Pusey had been encouraged by German friends to reply.

[2] Other major works by Pusey were: Christus consolator (1883) was published after his death, edited by his godson and friend George Edward Jelf.

[19] In addition to his original works, Pusey also published multiple translations as part of the Library of the Fathers series, including of the Confessions by St.
