David Garland

David E. Garland (* 1947) ist ein US-amerikanischer baptistischer Theologe und Neutestamentler, der über Jahrzehnte am Southern Baptist Theological Seminary sowie an der Baylor University lehrte. Er ist vor allem für seine fundierten Bibelkommentare zu den Evangelien und neutestamentlichen Briefen bekannt, die historische und altgriechische Textanalyse mit theologischer Ausgewogenheit verbinden. Für heutige Bibelleser bieten seine Auslegungen verlässliche Zugänge zum antiken Kontext und den theologischen Grundaussagen des Neuen Testaments.
