Banning Liebscher

Der 1976 geborene US-amerikanische Pastor und Buchautor Banning Liebscher gründete aus der Bethel Church in Redding heraus die weltweite Bewegung Jesus Culture. Er steht für charismatische Erweckungstheologie, Leiterschaft und Jüngerschaft, sieht sich jedoch aufgrund der Nähe zur Bethel-Bewegung anhaltender Kritik an deren Verständnis von Prophetie und übernatürlichen Phänomenen gegenüber. Für Bibelleser bietet er praxisnahe Impulse zu Hingabe und geistlicher Reife, deren charismatische Akzentsetzung im evangelikalen Raum unterschiedlich bewertet wird.
