Margot Käßmann

Margot Käßmann ist eine deutsche evangelisch-lutherische Theologin, Bestsellerautorin und ehemalige Ratsvorsitzende der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland sowie Bischöfin von Hannover. Sie steht für eine lebensnahe Glaubensvermittlung und einen konsequenten Pazifismus, der – ebenso wie ihr Rücktritt im Jahr 2010 nach einer Trunkenheitsfahrt – wiederholt Gegenstand intensiver öffentlicher Debatten war. Für Bibelleser verbindet sie biblische Texte mit praktischen Fragen der Lebensführung, menschlicher Verwundbarkeit und Vergebung.
