Robert Mounce

Robert Mounce (1921–2019) war ein US-amerikanischer Neutestamentler, Hochschullehrer und Bibelübersetzer, der unter anderem als Universitätspräsident und Pastor wirkte. Er erlangte Bekanntheit durch seine Mitarbeit an maßgeblichen englischen Bibelübersetzungen wie der NIV und der ESV sowie durch fundierte Bibelkommentare, insbesondere zur Offenbarung des Johannes. Für Bibelleser bietet sein Werk eine sprachlich präzise und zugleich praxisbezogene Auslegung biblischer Texte aus einer reformiert-evangelikalen Perspektive.

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
