Edward William Bok (October 9, 1863-January 9, 1930) was a Dutch-born American journalist. He was the editor of The Ladies' Home Journal, 1889-1919, and won the Pulitzer Prize for his autobiography, The Americanization of Edward Bok, 1921. In the September 1894 issue of The Ladies' Home Journal, Edward Bok wrote:
<There are myriads of people on this earth who believe in the divinity of Christ; people of the finest minds and the greatest learning. It is not a mark of intelligence to question divine things. The divinity of Christ is a question of the heart. No one who studies the Life of Christ can fail to believe that in Him the world had a Being unlike any other man, and His own teachings, His own words, His own life are the best proofs of his Divinity.> 1863EB001
