Henrik Reuterdahl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henrik Reuterdahl (born September 11, 1795 in Malmö; died June 28, 1870 in Uppsala) was archbishop of Sweden from 1856 to his death.
Stemming from Malmö, he was orphaned at an early age and had to rely on others for his education and support. Despite this he managed to get a higher education at the Lund University in theology, philology and Church history, influenced by local academic dignities such as Erik Gustaf Geijer as well as the works of the German Schleiermacher that had just become appreciated in Lund. He later published a thorough history of the Church in Sweden, and was a member of the Swedish Academy from 1852.
