Willem Muurling

Willem Muurling (April 27, 1805, Bolsward - December 9, 1882, The Hague) was a Dutch theologian who was a native of Bolsward. He was father-in-law to theologian Abraham Kuenen (1828-1891).

He studied theology at Utrecht, and from 1832 to 1837, served as a pastor in Stiens. Afterwards, he taught classes at the Rijksatheneum in Franeker, relocating to the University of Groningen in 1840, where he was as a professor of theology.

Muurling was a prominent member of the so-called "Groningen School", a progressive movement within the Dutch Reformed Church. Among his better written efforts was a textbook on practical theology titled Practische Godgeleerdheid of beschouwing van de Evangeliebediening. Other published works by Muurling include:
