Quotes by Arno Backhaus
Arno Backhaus (b. 1950) — Liedermacher, Autor, Referent und Evangelist · evangelikal-freikirchlich · Deutschland
Der 1950 geborene deutsche Liedermacher, Autor und Referent Arno Backhaus prägte ab den 1970er-Jahren als Teil des Duos „Arno & Andreas“ die christliche Musik- und Kleinkunstszene im evangelikalen Raum. Er steht für eine unkonventionelle, humorvolle Glaubensvermittlung und Straßenmission, stieß jedoch mit der Verbindung von Evangelisation und Unterhaltung in konservativen Kreisen zeitweise auf Vorbehalte. Bibellesern vermitteln seine pointierten Texte und Aphorismen einen lebensnahen Zugang zum Glauben, der Selbstironie und den offenen Umgang mit persönlichem Scheitern betont.
