Edward McKendree Bounds

Edward McKendree Bounds war ein US-amerikanischer methodistischer Pastor und Publizist, der in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts im Süden der Vereinigten Staaten wirkte. Er wurde vor allem durch seine Schriften über die Dringlichkeit des Gebetslebens bekannt, diente im Bürgerkrieg nach vorangegangener Inhaftierung jedoch als Kaplan in der konföderierten Armee. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnen seine Texte als praxisnahe Erinnerung daran, theologische Lehre mit persönlicher Gebetsdisziplin zu verbinden.
