Roy Alvin Harrisville II (April 22, 1922 – July 25, 2023) was an American Lutheranism, Lutheran theologian who wrote extensively on the interpretation of the New Testament.
Harrisville was educated at Concordia College, 1944, Moorhead, MN, Luther Seminary, Luther Theological Seminary, 1947 (in Saint Paul, Minnesota), Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton Seminary, 1953, Princeton, New Jersey, and the University of Tübingen in Germany. He served as a pastor in Mason City, Iowa, before joining the faculty of Luther Theological Seminary as professor of New Testament (1958-1992). He is co-founder of ''Dialog, A Journal of Theology'', and member of the Society of Biblical Literature and Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas.
Harrisville's view on the nature of scripture and the interaction between human writers and the Holy Spirit helped shape the preaching and theology of Lutheranism, Lutherans in North America for over 40 years. His works include ''The Bible in Modern Culture: Baruch Spinoza to Brevard Childs'' with Walter Sundberg and ''Fracture: The Cross as Irreconcilable in the Language and Thought of the Biblical Writers''. Dr. Harrisville believed the historical critical method could be harnessed in service of the Gospel. His long friendship with Ernst Kasemann led to several translations and reviews of Kasemann's work. Dr. Harrisville is listed in "Das Bultman Handbuch," (Mohr-Siebeck, 2017). The Harrisville-Kasemann correspondence can be found in the University of Tübingen Library and in the Luther Seminary Archives.
Harrisville died on July 25, 2023, at the age of 101.
