Reinhard Bonnke (1940–2019) — Evangelist und Missionsleiter (CfaN) · pfingstlich-charismatisch · Deutschland

Reinhard Bonnke (1940–2019) war ein deutscher pfingstlicher Evangelist und Gründer des Missionswerks „Christus für alle Nationen“, der vor allem durch Großevangelisationen auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent bekannt wurde. Er stand für eine auf persönliche Bekehrung und übernatürliche Zeichen ausgerichtete Verkündigung, stieß jedoch wegen suggestiver Methoden, unbestätigter Wunderberichte und Zwischenfällen bei Großveranstaltungen auch auf theologische Kritik. Für Bibelleser heute veranschaulicht sein Wirken den missionarischen Eifer der globalen Pfingstbewegung und wirft zugleich Fragen nach dem verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit charismatischer Verkündigung auf.
