Gustaf Emanuel Hildebrand Auln was the Bishop of Strngns in the Church of Sweden, a theologian, and the author of Christus Victor, a work which still exerts considerable influence on contemporary theological thinking on the atonement.
Auln was born in 1879 in Ljungby parish, Kalmar County, Sweden to Rev. F.J. Auln and Maria Hildebrand. He married Kristine Bjrnstad in 1907. After studying at Uppsala University, Auln became professor of dogmatics at Lund University in 1913, then Bishop of Strngns in 1933.
