Robert E. Coleman (* 1928) ist ein US-amerikanischer Theologe, Autor und langjähriger Hochschulprofessor für Evangelisation an verschiedenen evangelikalen Ausbildungsstätten. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch sein Werk „Der Meisterplan der Evangelisation“, das die beziehungsorientierte Zurüstung und Multiplikation weniger Jünger nach dem Vorbild Jesu ins Zentrum stellt. Bibellesern vermittelt sein Ansatz einen Zugang zu den Evangelien, der Nachfolge und Glaubensweitergabe primär als persönliche Lebensgemeinschaft statt als rein institutionelles Programm versteht.

Quotes by Robert E. Coleman
It is ironic when one stops to think about it. In an age when facilities for rapid communication of the gospel are available to the church as never before, there are actually more unevangelized people on the earth today than before the invention of the horseless carriage.
Robert E. Coleman
Though He did what he could to help the multitudes, He had to devote Himself primarily to a few men, rather than the masses, so that the masses could at last be saved. This was the genius of his strategy.
Robert E. Coleman
Perhaps his total number of devoted followers at the end of His earthly ministry numbered little more than the five hundred brethren to whom Jesus appeared after the resurrection (I Cor. 15:6), and only about 120 tarried in Jerusalem to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:15). Though this number is not small considering that His active ministry extended only over a period of three years, yet if at this point one were to measure the effectiveness of his evangelism by the number of his converts, Jesus doubtless would not be considered among the most productive mass evangelists of the church.
