Volrath Vogt

Volrath Vogt (14 February 1817 – 19 July 1889) was a Danish-born, Norwegian theologian, educator and author.

He was the son of Johan Nilsen Vogt (1783–1859) and Henriette Elisabeth Lorenzina Juhl (1790–1846).

Vogt taught in religion, geography and the French language.

In 1863 he conducted an extended research trip to Syria and Palestine, where he gathered impressions and historical data.

His textbook Bibelhistorie med Lidt af Kirkens Historie from 1858 became widely used in schools, and had been printed in more than a million copies at the time of his death.
