Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes (1798–1870) war ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Pastor und Theologe, der viele Jahre an der First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia wirkte. Als profilierter Vertreter der presbyterianischen „New School“-Strömung und entschiedener Sklavereigegner löste er in den 1830er Jahren mit seinen Schriften theologische Kontroversen über Erbsünde und Sühnopfer aus. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein gemeinfreies Vers-für-Vers-Kommentarwerk eine sachliche und verständliche Erklärung biblischer Texte ohne theologische Fachsprache.
