John Henry Blunt (25 August 1823 in Chelsea – 11 April 1884 in London) was an English divine.
He held in succession several preferments, among them the vicarage of Kennington near Oxford (1868), which he vacated in 1873 for the crown living of Beverston in Gloucestershire.
He died rather suddenly in London on 11 April 1884 (Good Friday), and was buried in Battersea cemetery.
[1] He became a voluminous writer in the fields of theology and ecclesiastical history, and had published among other works an annotated edition of the Prayer Book (1867), a History of the English Reformation (1868), a Book of Church Law (1872), A Key to the Knowledge and Use of the Holy Bible (1873), as well as a Dictionary of Doctrinal and Historical Theology (1870).
The continuation of these labors was seen in a Dictionary of Sects and Heresies (1874), an Annotated Bible (3 vols., 1878–1879), and a Cyclopaedia of Religion (1884).
