F. (Friedrich) Bente
Friedrich Bente (1858–1930) was a Lutheran pastor and theologian known for his historical and doctrinal contributions to the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. He is most famous for his work on the "Concordia Triglotta," a critical edition of Lutheran confessional documents in three languages. Bente also authored "Historical Introductions to the Book of Concord," which provides valuable context and background on key Lutheran texts. His writings remain influential in Lutheran circles, particularly in the study of confessional history and theology.
