Volrath Vogt

Volrath Vogt (14 February 1817 – 19 July 1889) was a Danish-born Norwegian theologian and schoolteacher, who is particularly known for his biblical stories for schoolchildren.

He was born in Reerslev, Denmark, and grew up in Norway. He was teacher at the Christiania Cathedral School for fifty years, from 1839 to 1889. His textbook Bibelhistorie med Lidt af Kirkens Historie from 1858 became widely used in schools, and had been printed in more than a million copies at the time of his death.[1][2]
