A woman's heart should be so close to God that a man has to seek Him to find her!

Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot (1926–2015) war eine US-amerikanische evangelikale Missionarin, Autorin und Radiomoderatorin, die in den 1950er-Jahren in Ecuador und danach über Jahrzehnte in den USA wirkte. Bekannt wurde sie durch ihren Dienst unter den Waodani nach der Tötung ihres Mannes sowie durch Schriften über unbedingten Gehorsam, Leidensbereitschaft und christliche Lebensführung. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt sie praktische Impulse zu Glaubenstreue und Trost in Krisen, während ihre rigide Theologie der Geschlechterrollen und ihr Einfluss auf die „Purity Culture“ umstritten bleiben.
