But the heart of Christianity is Good News. It comes not as a task for us to fulfill, a mission for us to accomplish, a game plan for us to follow with the help of life coaches, but as a report that someone else has already fulfilled, accomplished, followed, and achieved everything for us.

Michael Horton (* 1964) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Theologe, Autor und Professor für Systematische Theologie am Westminster Seminary California. Bekannt durch die Medienplattform „White Horse Inn“ und Werke wie „Christless Christianity“, setzt er sich für die Wiederentdeckung reformatorischer Bekenntnisse sowie eine reformierte Zwei-Reiche-Lehre ein. Bibellesern vermittelt er theologische Grundlinien mit klarem Fokus auf die Rechtfertigung allein aus Gnade und hinterfragt kritisch moralistische oder konsumorientierte Verkürzungen des Glaubens.
