More secret than diplomacy, deeper than the investigations of the wise, and mightier than all the kingly power, is the providence of God.

John Broadus

John Albert Broadus (1827–1895) war ein US-amerikanischer baptistischer Theologe, Pastor und Mitgründer des Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Greenville und Louisville. Er prägte mit seinem Standardwerk über die Predigtlehre und seinen Bibelkommentaren die evangelikale Homiletik maßgeblich, während seine Haltung als Sklavenhalter und Konföderierten-Feldprediger heute kritisch aufgearbeitet wird. Für Bibelleser vermitteln seine Schriften bis heute methodische Klarheit und theologische Sorgfalt in der Schriftauslegung.
