Hectic busyness is the creed of modern paganism. God grants us breaks. We should not do substantially more, but more of what is essential.

— Peter Hahne (b. 1952), Fernsehjournalist, Moderator und Bestsellerautor

Peter Hahne

Peter Hahne (* 1952) ist ein deutscher Theologe, Bestsellerautor und ehemaliger ZDF-Fernsehjournalist, der über viele Jahre auch im Rat der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland wirkte. Er steht für eine pointierte konservativ-evangelikale Publizistik und den Appell an biblische Werte, stößt jedoch durch seinen scharfen Stil sowie gesellschafts- und kirchenpolitische Positionen auf anhaltenden Widerspruch. Für Bibelleser bieten seine prägnanten Zitate Impulse zur Alltagsnachfolge und ethischen Standfestigkeit, fordern zugleich aber zur Unterscheidung zwischen biblischer Botschaft und publizistischer Zuspitzung heraus.
