Beware of that practical atheism which excludes God from His own world; which excludes Him from your individual history. He is not only present in His created universe, but He is as much in personal events of life, shaping, guiding, overruling each and all.
— Octavius Winslow (1808–1878), Prediger

Octavius Winslow
Octavius Winslow war ein englisch-US-amerikanischer Prediger und Autor des 19. Jahrhunderts, der als Geistlicher bei den Baptisten sowie später in der Church of England unter anderem in Bath und Brighton wirkte. Er steht für eine an den Puritanern orientierte, seelsorgerliche Frömmigkeit mit starkem Schwerpunkt auf dem Wirken des Heiligen Geistes und der Hinwendung zu Christus. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er durch Andachtsbücher und Schriften, die theologische Lehren mit persönlicher Glaubenserfahrung und Zuspruch verknüpfen.
