To believe means: to reckon with God.

— Ernst Modersohn (1870–1948), Prediger

Ernst Modersohn

Ernst Modersohn (1870–1948) war ein deutscher evangelischer Pfarrer, Reiseevangelist und Verleger, der maßgeblich von Bad Blankenburg aus in der Allianz- und Gemeinschaftsbewegung wirkte. Geprägt von Neupietismus und Heiligungsbewegung, erreichte er mit Predigten und über 260 Schriften ein Millionenpublikum und nahm im Konflikt um die frühe Pfingstbewegung eine vermittelnde Haltung ein. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem in Andachten mit schlichten, lebensnahen Auslegungen zu Gebet, Glaubensvertrauen und praktischer Nachfolge.
