Phil Bosmans

Phil Bosmans war ein belgischer römisch-katholischer Ordenspriester und Seelsorger, der ab Ende der 1950er-Jahre von Antwerpen aus die Hilfsorganisation »Bund ohne Namen« aufbaute. Mit millionenfach verbreiteten Aphorismen und Lebenshilfebüchern warb er für gelebte Nächstenliebe und Zuversicht, wenngleich Kritiker seine Texte teils als allzu schlicht oder sentimental einstuften. Für Bibelleser zeigt sein Werk, wie christlicher Zuspruch und seelsorglicher Trost in eine verständliche, alltagsbezogene Sprache übersetzt werden können.
