John Henry Jowett

John Henry Jowett war ein englischer kongregationalistischer Prediger und Theologe der Jahrhundertwende, der bedeutende Gemeinden in Birmingham, New York und London leitete. Er stand für eine sprachlich sorgfältig ausgearbeitete, seelsorgerlich geprägte Kanzelverkündigung sowie für einflussreiche Schriften zur pastoralen Praxis. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch Andachtstexte und Zitate über das Gebetsleben, geistliche Hingabe und die Zuverlässigkeit göttlicher Gnade.
