Andreas Malessa

Andreas Malessa ist ein deutscher Rundfunkjournalist, Publizist und freikirchlicher Theologe, der seit den 1970er-Jahren auch als christlicher Musiker und Sachbuchautor hervortritt. Er steht für eine alltagsnahe, sprachlich pointierte Vermittlung des Glaubens und wirbt in Auseinandersetzung mit konservativen Strömungen für eine historisch-kontextuelle Bibelauslegung. Bibellesern gibt er Denkanstöße, theologische Traditionen zu hinterfragen und biblische Botschaften lebensnah im gesellschaftlichen Kontext zu reflektieren.
