Trusting Christ will always show itself by following Him.

— Mark Dever (b. 1960), Pastor, Autor und Gründer von 9Marks

Mark Dever

Mark Dever ist ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Baptistenpastor und Theologe, der seit 1994 die Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. leitet. Er gründete die Organisation 9Marks und steht für ein calvinistisches Gemeindeverständnis, das auf fortlaufende Auslegungspredigt, Ältestenleitung sowie verbindliche Gemeindemitgliedschaft und formelle Gemeindezucht setzt. Für heutige Bibelleser liefert er einflussreiche Impulse zur Ekklesiologie, während sein striktes Zuchtmodell und seine frühere öffentliche Unterstützung für krisenbelastete Leiterschaftskollegen auch auf deutliche Kritik stoßen.
