Hannah Whitall Smith

Hannah Whitall Smith (1832–1911) war eine US-amerikanische christliche Autorin, Laienpredigerin und Reformaktivistin mit Quäker-Hintergrund, die in den USA und in Großbritannien wirkte. Bekannt wurde sie als prägende Gestalt der Heiligungsbewegung durch ihren Klassiker „Das Geheimnis eines glücklichen Christenlebens“, während ihrequietistischen Tendenzen und ihre spätere Hinwendung zur Allversöhnung auf theologische Kritik stießen. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet sie vor allem als praxisnahe Ermutigerin zu Gelassenheit, Trost und unerschütterlichem Vertrauen auf Gottes Wesen.
