Only the internal work of God’s Spirit can transform a person’s predisposition so that he or she willingly and cheerfully observes the commands of God.

Dean Ulrich

Dean R. Ulrich (* 1963) ist ein US-amerikanischer Alttestamentler, presbyterianischer Pastor und Autor. Er vertritt eine heilsgeschichtlich-christuszentrierte Schriftauslegung und wendet sich gegen moralistische Verkürzungen biblischer Bücher wie Rut oder Esra-Nehemia. Heutigen Bibellesern hilft sein Werk, alttestamentliche Texte in ihrem historischen Kontext und zugleich im Gesamtgefüge des christlichen Evangeliums zu verstehen.
