God gives us His grace in the hour we need it. If we worry about the future now, we double our pain without having the grace to deal with it.

— John MacArthur (1939–2025), Pastor der Grace Community Church, Autor, Leiter von 'Grace to You'

John MacArthur

John MacArthur (1939–2025) war ein US-amerikanischer reformiert-baptistischer Pastor und Autor, der von 1969 bis zu seinem Tod die Grace Community Church in Kalifornien leitete. Bekannt durch die international verbreitete „MacArthur-Studienbibel“, stand er für fortlaufende Vers-für-Vers-Auslegungspredigten sowie eine strikte Abgrenzung gegenüber der charismatischen Bewegung. Bibellesern dient sein Lebenswerk als detailreiches konservatives Nachschlagewerk, während seine theologische Schärfe sowie Berichte über den gemeindlichen Umgang mit Missbrauchsfällen für anhaltende Kontroversen sorgen.
