It belongs to my faith that my heavenly Father does not entrust me with tasks I cannot fulfill.

Wilhelm Busch

Wilhelm Busch war ein deutscher evangelisch-lutherischer Pfarrer und Jugendevangelist, der von 1929 bis 1962 das Weigle-Haus in Essen leitete und nach 1945 als Reiseprediger wirkte. Er stand für eine betont volksnahe, bibeltreue Verkündigung, engagierte sich in der Bekennenden Kirche gegen den Nationalsozialismus und erreichte mit Vortragssammlungen wie „Jesus unser Schicksal“ ein Millionenpublikum. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er plastische und pointierte Erklärungen grundlegender Glaubensthemen, fordert aber durch seinen kompromisslosen Bekehrungsanspruch und die schroffe Ablehnung historisch-kritischer Schriftauslegung heraus.
