It is foolish for humans, including God’s people, to imagine that they are self-sufficient. God does not help those who help themselves. Rather, He helps those who cannot help themselves, know it, and rely on Him.

Dean Ulrich
Dean R. Ulrich (* 1963) ist ein US-amerikanischer Alttestamentler, presbyterianischer Pastor und Autor. Er vertritt eine heilsgeschichtlich-christuszentrierte Schriftauslegung und wendet sich gegen moralistische Verkürzungen biblischer Bücher wie Rut oder Esra-Nehemia. Heutigen Bibellesern hilft sein Werk, alttestamentliche Texte in ihrem historischen Kontext und zugleich im Gesamtgefüge des christlichen Evangeliums zu verstehen.
