Robert Murray McCheyne

Robert Murray McCheyne war ein schottischer presbyterianischer Pfarrer, der von 1836 bis zu seinem frühen Tod 1843 an der St. Peter’s Church in Dundee wirkte. Er stand für eine calvinistische Erweckungsfrömmigkeit, die persönliche Heiligung, leidenschaftliche Verkündigung und eine konsequente Verwurzelung in der Schrift betonte. Bibellesern ist er heute vor allem durch seinen weit verbreiteten Bibelleseplan sowie durch seine Texte über Gebet und geistliche Hingabe bekannt.
