D. Stuart Briscoe

D. Stuart Briscoe (1930–2022) war ein britisch-US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der drei Jahrzehnte lang die Elmbrook Church in Wisconsin leitete. Er stand für eine praxisnahe, christuszentrierte Schriftauslegung und vermittelte biblische Lehre mit britischem Humor und starkem Alltagsbezug. Für Bibelleser heute verbinden seine Texte theologische Kernaussagen mit handfesten Impulsen für die persönliche Nachfolge.
