Quotes by Paul Washer
Paul Washer (b. 1961) — Prediger, Autor, Missionsleiter · reformierte Baptisten · USA
Paul Washer (* 1961) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformiert-baptistischer Prediger, Autor und Leiter des Missionswerks HeartCry Missionary Society. Er wurde international durch kompromisslose Predigten bekannt, in denen er oberflächliche Bekehrungsmuster scharf angreift und die Notwendigkeit von echter Buße, Lebensveränderung und weltweiter Mission betont. Während Bibelleser in seinen Beiträgen einen aufrüttelnden Ruf gegen theologische Verflachung sehen, stößt seine Lehre auf Kritik, da die starke Betonung sichtbarer Werke als Heilsbeweis die Heilsgewissheit untergraben könne.
