F. B. Meyer

Frederick Brotherton Meyer war ein englischer baptistischer Pastor, Evangelist und Autor an der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert, der vor allem in London und Leicester wirkte. Er gehörte zu den führenden Stimmen der Keswick-Heiligungsbewegung und verband seine weltweite Predigttätigkeit mit praktischer Sozialreform sowie Fürsorge für Strafentlassene. Bibellesern begegnet er heute vor allem durch seelsorgerliche Andachtstexte und Charakterstudien biblischer Gestalten, die eine persönliche Hingabe und Christuszentrierung betonen.
