Christianity has always been the hope of God through Jesus played out in the lives of real people living in real circumstances.

Doug Pagitt

Doug Pagitt (* 1966) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Buchautor und Aktivist aus Minnesota, der Ende der 1990er-Jahre als Mitbegründer der Emerging-Church-Bewegung bekannt wurde. Er steht für eine dialogorientierte, post-evangelikale Gemeindepraxis und progressive Gesellschaftspolitik, stößt jedoch bei konservativen Theologen wegen der Infragestellung traditioneller Dogmen auf scharfe Ablehnung. Bibellesern begegnet er als profilierte Stimme für ein kritisches Hinterfragen evangelikaler Denkmuster und die Verbindung christlicher Ethik mit sozialer Verantwortung.
