God’s commands are not arbitrary. They are grounded in His moral character, what He is like within Himself, and orientated towards His purposes for His creation.

Melvin Tinker
Melvin Tinker (1955–2021) war ein britischer evangelikaler Theologe, Buchautor und langjähriger Pfarrer in Kingston upon Hull. Er vertrat eine strikt konservativ-reformierte Theologie, verteidigte die Irrtumslosigkeit der Bibel und verließ nach jahrelanger scharfer Kritik am liberalen Kurs der Church of England 2020 die Denomination. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften Orientierung zu Themen wie persönlichem Leiden, christlicher Nachfolge und der Auseinandersetzung mit säkularen Strömungen.
