Christians are not thermometers that display the temperature of their surroundings. They are thermostats that change it.

Peter Hahne

Peter Hahne (* 1952) ist ein deutscher Theologe, Bestsellerautor und ehemaliger ZDF-Fernsehjournalist, der über viele Jahre auch im Rat der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland wirkte. Er steht für eine pointierte konservativ-evangelikale Publizistik und den Appell an biblische Werte, stößt jedoch durch seinen scharfen Stil sowie gesellschafts- und kirchenpolitische Positionen auf anhaltenden Widerspruch. Für Bibelleser bieten seine prägnanten Zitate Impulse zur Alltagsnachfolge und ethischen Standfestigkeit, fordern zugleich aber zur Unterscheidung zwischen biblischer Botschaft und publizistischer Zuspitzung heraus.
