From wind force ten upward, there are no atheists left.

— Helmut Gollwitzer (1908–1993), Theologe

Helmut Gollwitzer

Helmut Gollwitzer (1908–1993) war ein deutscher evangelischer Theologe und Universitätsprofessor in Bonn und Berlin, der zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in der Bekennenden Kirche wirkte. Geprägt von Karl Barth verband er die biblische Botschaft mit entschiedenem Engagement für Frieden und soziale Gerechtigkeit, geriet jedoch wegen seines christlichen Sozialismus und seiner Kontakte zur Studentenbewegung der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre in scharfe politische Kritik. Für Bibelleser steht sein Werk für ein Glaubensverständnis, das theologische Reflexion untrennbar an praktische Verantwortung und Parteinahme für Entrechtete bindet.
