I have seen faith rise 'mountain high' when the truth of God's present love and compassion begins to dawn upon the minds and hearts of the people. It is not what God can do, but what we know He yearns to do, that inspires faith.

F. F. Bosworth

Fred Francis Bosworth (1877–1958) war ein US-amerikanischer Evangelist, früher Leiter der Assemblies of God und Pionier der christlichen Radioübertragung. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein Buch „Christ the Healer“ und die Lehre, dass körperliche Heilung im Sühnopfer Christi uneingeschränkt verbürgt sei, was von traditionellen Theologen als unbiblische Heilungsgarantie kritisiert wurde. Für heutige Bibelleser steht Bosworth für eine prägende pfingstliche Auslegung biblischer Heilungsverheißungen, die zugleich theologische Fragen zum Umgang mit Krankheit und Glaubensansprüchen aufwirft.
