J.F. Rutherford

Sobre el Autor

Joseph Franklin Rutherford was a prominent American religious leader and the second president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, which is the main legal entity used by Jehovah's Witnesses. He succeeded Charles Taze Russell after Russell's death in 1916. Under Rutherford's leadership, the organization underwent significant changes, including the introduction of the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses' in 1931, which helped to unify and define the movement's identity. His teachings emphasized the importance of living in accordance with biblical principles and preparing for the coming Kingdom of God.

Rutherford was a prolific writer and speaker, producing numerous publications that shaped the beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses. His notable works include "The Harp of God" and "The New World," which provided interpretations of the Bible that resonated with his followers. He faced legal challenges and imprisonment for his beliefs and activities, but he continued to advocate for the organization and its message of hope and salvation. His legacy remains influential among Jehovah's Witnesses today, as his teachings continue to impact the movement's direction and mission.
