Quotes by Paul Deitenbeck
Paul Deitenbeck (1907–1994) — Evangelist · Pietismus · Deutschland
Paul Deitenbeck (1912–2000) war ein deutscher evangelisch-lutherischer Pfarrer und Evangelist, der von 1952 bis 1982 in Lüdenscheid wirkte und die westdeutsche pietistische Bewegung der Nachkriegszeit prägte. Bekannt wurde er als langjähriger Leiter der Deutschen Zeltmission, Mitinitiator der Bekenntnisbewegung „Kein anderes Evangelium“ sowie als streitbarer Verteidiger eines bibeltreuen Glaubens gegen historisch-kritische Theologiekonzepte. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Texte eine volksnahe, seelsorgerliche Verkündigung, die zu praktischer Nachfolge und persönlichem Gottvertrauen ermutigt.
