'''Sir Frederic George Kenyon''' [[Order of the British Empire|GBE]] [[Order of the Bath|KCB]] [[Territorial Decoration|TD]] [[British Academy|FBA]] [[Society of Antiquaries of London|FSA]] (15 January [[1863 AD|1863]] – 23 August [[1952 AD|1952]]) was a British [[Paleography|paleographer]], [[Biblical criticism|biblical]] and [[Classics|classical]] scholar. He was the director of the [[British Museum]]. He was also the president of the [[British Academy]] from [[1917 AD|1917]] to [[1921 AD|1921]], and from [[1918 AD|1918]] to [[1952 AD|1952]] he was Gentleman Usher of the Purple Rod.

Kenyon was born in London, the son of [[John Robert Kenyon]], [[Vinerian Professor of English Law]] at [[University of Oxford|Oxford]]. Educated at [[Magdalen College, Oxford]], he joined the [[British Museum]] in 1889 and rose to be its Director and Head Librarian by [[1909 AD|1909]]. He was knighted for his services in 1912.

In 1891, Kenyon edited the [[editio princeps]] of the Aristotelian [[Constitution of Athens]]. In 1920, he was appointed president of the [[British School of Archaeology]] in [[Jerusalem]]. He spent most of his retirement researching and publishing ancient [[papyri]]. He died on [[23 August]] [[1952]].

Kenyon was a noted scholar of ancient languages, and made a life-long study of the [[Bible]], especially the [[New Testament]] as an historical text. His book ''Our Bible and the Ancient Manuscripts'' (1895) alleges to show how Egyptian papyri and other evidence from [[archeology]] can corroborate the narrative of historical events in the Gospel. He was convinced of the historical reality of the events described in the New Testament - and is often quoted by those who share this view (viz. [[The Alpha Course]]) - most commonly with these words:
“the last foundation for any doubt that the Scriptures have come down to us substantially as they were written has now been removed.” <ref>Sir Frederick Kenyon, The Bible & Archaeology, Harper & Row, 1940</ref>

Kenyon's eldest daughter was the British archaeologist [[Kathleen Kenyon|Dame Kathleen Kenyon]].
