Doug Fields

Der US-amerikanische evangelikale Pastor und Autor Doug Fields (* 1962) leitete fast zwei Jahrzehnte lang die Jugendarbeit der kalifornischen Saddleback Church. Bekannt wurde er als Pionier der modernen Jugendarbeit und Verfasser zahlreicher Praxishandbücher zu Leiterschaft, Ehe und Familie wie dem Standardwerk „Jugendarbeit mit Vision“. Für Bibelleser stehen seine Texte heute für eine praxisnahe und beziehungsorientierte Umsetzung biblischer Impulse im Gemeinde- und Familienalltag.
