Worry over poverty is as fatal to spiritual fruitfulness as is gloating over wealth.

A.W. Pink

Arthur Walkington Pink (1886–1952) war ein englischer Pastor und theologischer Autor, der nach Stationen in den USA, Australien und England zuletzt weitgehend zurückgezogen in Schottland wirkte. Er vertrat eine kompromisslose reformierte Theologie, die die absolute Souveränität Gottes sowie persönliche Heiligung betonte und ihn zu Lebzeiten in kirchliche Isolation führte. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften gründliche, streng am Text orientierte Auslegungen, die nach seinem Tod maßgeblich zur Wiederbelebung puritanisch-reformierten Denkens beitrugen.
