D.A. Carson
Der kanadische Neutestamentler Donald Arthur Carson (* 1946) lehrte über vier Jahrzehnte an der Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in den USA und ist Mitgründer des Netzwerks The Gospel Coalition. Er steht für eine reformiert-baptistische Theologie, biblische Irrtumslosigkeit sowie detaillierte Exegese und trat publizistisch als scharfer Kritiker liberaler und postmodern-relativistischer Strömungen auf. Bibellesern bietet sein Werk fundierte konservative Kommentare und theologische Orientierung, während andere Stimmen seine hermeneutische Unnachgiebigkeit kritisieren.
