Max Lucado

Max Lucado (* 1955) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Bestsellerautor, der über viele Jahre die überkonfessionelle Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, leitete. Er ist bekannt für seinen erzählerischen, seelsorgerlichen Stil über Gottes Gnade und Trost, wobei frühere konservative Äußerungen zu Homosexualität auch öffentliche Kontroversen auslösten. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Texte leicht verständliche, alltagsnahe Zugänge zu biblischen Geschichten, die dogmatische Schärfe zugunsten persönlicher Ermutigung in den Hintergrund stellen.
