Michel Quoist

Michel Quoist war ein französischer katholischer Priester, Soziologe und Autor, der im 20. Jahrhundert vor allem in Le Havre wirkte. Er wurde durch Bücher wie „Herr, da bin ich“ weltweit bekannt, indem er die traditionelle Gebetssprache für konkrete, alltägliche und soziale Lebenserfahrungen öffnete. Für Bibelleser heute bietet sein Werk Anstöße, biblische Spiritualität unmittelbar mit den praktischen Herausforderungen des Alltags zu verbinden.
