Yngve Torgny Brilioth (12 July 1891 – 27 April 1959) was a Swedish theologian, professor for church history and author who served as Bishop of Växjö from 1938 to 1950 and Archbishop of Uppsala from 1950 until 1958.[1][2]
He earned his Ph.D. in 1915 and his Dr. theol. in 1917 both from Uppsala University. He was ordained a priest in 1918. He became professor of church history at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland in 1925. In 1928 he became professor of practical theology and clergy in Lund University. Brilioth was awarded honorary doctor of theology at Uppsala in 1927, at the Academy of Turku in 1934, at Oxford University in 1933 and at Glasgow University in 1935.
He wrote many historical and theological books. For his contribution to the history of the Anglican Church, in 1942 he was awarded the Lambeth Cross, the highest award in the Anglican Church. He used his deep historical knowledge when he was archbishop to take measures concerning the organisation, liturgy and methods of preaching; he furthermore had an international interest and was chairman of the Faith and Order commission. He was the author of a history of the Oxford Movement, written to coincide with its centenary in 1933. [3]
