All that this world offers is nothing more than cesspools and broken cisterns, while what God offers is a fountain of life.

William MacDonald

William MacDonald (1917–2007) war ein US-amerikanischer Bibellehrer und Autor aus den Reihen der Brüderbewegung, der unter anderem die Emmaus Bible School leitete. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seinen einbändigen Bibelkommentar sowie Schriften, die eine verbindliche Christusnachfolge und einen einfachen Lebensstil betonen. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er eine verständliche, dispensationalistisch geprägte Schriftauslegung, deren hohe Maßstäbe an persönliche Hingabe mitunter als schwer lebbar diskutiert werden.
