Steven Furtick

Steven Furtick (* 1980) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Bestsellerautor und Gründer der 2006 entstandenen Megachurch Elevation Church in North Carolina. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch seine dynamischen Predigten und das international erfolgreiche Musikprojekt Elevation Worship, während evangelikale Theologen ihm eine stark auf den Menschen zentrierte Bibelauslegung und theologische Unschärfen vorwerfen. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Texte rhetorisch pointierte Ermutigung im Alltag, erfordern jedoch angesichts seiner Nähe zu Elementen der Wort-des-Glaubens-Bewegung eine eigenständige theologische Einordnung.
