William D. Reynolds

William D. Reynolds (Korean: 이눌서; Hanja: 李訥瑞, 1867–1951) was an American Southern Presbyterian (PCUS) missionary and Bible translator in Korea.

He received his undergraduate education at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and subsequently studied theology at Union Presbyterian Seminary.

In 1891 he attended the Inter-Seminary Alliance for Foreign Missions and heard a talk by Horace Grant Underwood who was furlough from a medical missionary scheme in Seoul; Reynolds was inspired by the talk and applied to the PCUS Executive Committee of Foreign Missions to go to Korea as a missionary.

[5] Along with Horace G. Underwood, James Scarth Gale, Henry G. Appenzeller, William B. Scranton,[6] Lee Seung Doo (이승두), and Kim Jeong Sam (김정삼), Reynolds and the team's efforts led to the first Korean translation of the New Testament and the first Korean Hymnal.
