Barbara Brown Taylor

Barbara Brown Taylor (* 1951) ist eine US-amerikanische episkopale Priesterin, Theologin und Autorin, die als Gemeindepfarrerin und Hochschullehrerin in Georgia wirkte. Sie wurde durch Veröffentlichungen über Gotteserfahrungen im Alltag und den spirituellen Wert von Zweifel und Dunkelheit bekannt, stieß jedoch in konservativen Kreisen wegen ihres pluralistischen Religionsverständnisses auf Kritik. Für Bibelleser eröffnet ihr Ansatz Zugänge zu biblischen Texten, die menschliche Verwundbarkeit und Glaubensfragen jenseits dogmatischer Gewissheiten thematisieren.
