G. Campbell Morgan

George Campbell Morgan (1863–1945) war ein englischer Prediger, Evangelist und Bibellehrer, der vor allem durch seinen langjährigen Dienst an der Londoner Westminster Chapel sowie durch Vortragsreisen in den USA bekannt wurde. Er prägte die methodisch genaue, fortlaufende Auslegungspredigt und vertrat ein schriftzentriertes Bibelverständnis, während er sich im Fundamentalismusstreit der 1920er-Jahre von polemischen Abspaltungen distanzierte. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine zahlreichen Kommentare und Predigtreihen ein textnahes, analytisches Schriftstudium mit praxisnaher pastoraler Ausrichtung.

Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains… Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot block a man’s pathway for even a moment. The shadow of a dog can’t bite; the shadow of a sword can’t kill.
