The greatest threat to revival is the Christian who refuses to work together with other Christians simply because he holds a different view on certain biblical statements that are of little importance for evangelism.

— Alan Redpath (1907–1989), Pastor, Prediger und Buchautor

Alan Redpath

Alan Redpath (1907–1989) war ein britischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der unter anderem die Moody Church in Chicago sowie Gemeinden in London und Edinburgh leitete. Geprägt von der Keswick-Bewegung, stand er für eine fortlaufende Schriftauslegung, die persönliche Heiligung, Gebet und die Abhängigkeit vom Heiligen Geist betonte. Für Bibelleser heute veranschaulichen seine Auslegungen und Zitate das geistliche Leben als lebenslangen Reifungsprozess praktischer Hingabe und Bewährung im Leiden.
