Benedikt Peters

Benedikt Peters ist ein schwedisch-schweizerischer Bibellehrer, Hebraist und Autor im konservativ-evangelikalen und freikirchlichen Raum. Seine Veröffentlichungen zeichnen sich durch eine historisch-grammatische Schriftauslegung aus und grenzen sich entschieden von historisch-kritischen sowie pfingstlich-charismatischen Strömungen ab. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet er fundierte Auslegungen zu biblischen Büchern, die altsprachliche Texttreue mit leicht verständlicher Erklärung verbinden.
