Richard C. H. Lenski (September 14, 1864 in Greifenberg, Brandenburg-Prussia (now Gryfice, Poland) – 1936) was a German-born American-naturalized Lutheran scholar, and author, who published a series of Lutheran New Testament commentaries (some of the volumes were published after his death). He was editor of Die Lutherische Kirchenzeitung for twenty years. His 12-volume series of commentaries on the New Testament contains a literal translation of the Greek texts and commentary which was advertised as being from a traditional Lutheran perspective.
