Donald Bloesch (1928–2010) war ein US-amerikanischer systematischer Theologe, der von 1957 bis 1992 am Dubuque Theological Seminary in Iowa lehrte. Er stand für eine Verbindung von reformierter Bekenntnistreue mit evangelikaler Frömmigkeit und betonte das Zusammenwirken von biblischem Wort und Heiligem Geist in Abgrenzung sowohl zum Fundamentalismus als auch zum Liberalismus. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften theologische Orientierung, die dogmatische Reflexion mit einer Praxis des Gebets und der Christusnachfolge verknüpft.

Quotes by Donald Bloesch
Our peace and confidence are to be found not in our empirical holiness, not in our progress toward perfection, but in the alien righteousness of Jesus Christ that covers our sinfulness and alone makes us acceptable before a holy God.

For the living God to be known, He must make Himself known, and He has done this in the acts and words recorded in Scripture.

[The virgin birth] graphically shows that salvation comes “from above” and that the source of our hope and confidence lies in the living God who entered into human history in the historical figure of Jesus Christ. The virgin birth marks off the origin of Christ from the human race just as his end is marked off by the resurrection

Is authority to be placed in human wisdom or cultural experience, or is it to be located in an incommensurable divine revelation that intrudes into our world from the beyond? Does it lie within the compass of what we can ordinarily discover or conceive, or does it break into our world as a new reality that overturns human imagination and conception? Is it a truth waiting to be uncovered through diligent searching, or is it a word personally addressed to us, calling us to repentance and obedience?
