God does not demand of us more than he has enabled us to perform; everything he asks of us comes accompanied by his grace.

Adam Clarke (1762–1832), Bibelkommentator

Topics: Grace & Redemption, Discipleship

Occasions: Encouragement

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke war ein britischer methodistischer Theologe, Prediger und Sprachgelehrter an der Wende vom 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert. Bekannt wurde er durch seinen monumentalen Bibelkommentar, der wesleyanisch-arminianische Theologie mit umfassenden orientalischen Sprachstudien verband, jedoch wegen seiner Ablehnung der ewigen Sohnschaft Christi kircheninternen Widerspruch hervorrief. Für Bibelleser bietet sein gemeinfreies Werk bis heute eine Fülle an historischen und sprachlichen Erläuterungen zur Schriftauslegung.
