James Montgomery Boice
James Montgomery Boice (1938–2000) war ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Theologe und langjähriger Pastor der Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. Er prägte die evangelikale Bewegung maßgeblich durch seinen Einsatz für die Irrtumslosigkeit der Bibel im Rahmen der Chicago-Erklärung sowie durch seine Radiosendung „The Bible Study Hour“. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch seine Bibelkommentare, die klassisch-reformierte Theologie mit fortlaufender Schriftauslegung verbinden.
