Jesus Christ himself is the final revelation and interpretation of the whole truth. In him is revealed everything we need to know about God.

Ian Thomas
Der britische Heeresoffizier und Bibellehrer Walter Ian Thomas (1914–2007) gründete 1946 im englischen Capernwray die weltweite Missions- und Freizeitzentrenbewegung der Fackelträger. Seine von der Keswick-Bewegung geprägte Verkündigung stellte das Prinzip des „innewohnenden Lebens Christi“ gegen jede Form religiöser Selbstanstrengung. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er Impulse zur Befreiung von geistlichem Leistungsdruck, wobei seine Heiligungsauffassung im reformierten Raum auch kritisch diskutiert wird.
