Samuel Angus

Samuel Angus (27 August 1881 – 17 November 1943) was professor of New Testament and Church History at St Andrew's College in the University of Sydney from 1915 to 1943.

He studied at the Collegiate School, Ballymena, and won a scholarship to Queen's (University) College, Galway, receiving a B.A.

He was appointed as a chaplain of the Scotch Church in Algiers, before being elected to St Andrew's College, University of Sydney in 1915.

[1] Angus's outspoken views of Christian theology were criticised by the Presbyterian Church of Australia, leading to formal charges of heresy.

Angus rejected many of the core traditional Christian beliefs, including the doctrine of the Trinity, the Biblical inspiration, the virgin birth and bodily resurrection of Christ.
