Of all that could go wrong…in your life, God brings about good. No, we do not always know what good can come out of the situations in our lives, but God does. He makes no mistakes. We can believe that He is up to good on our behalf.

— Dean Ulrich (b. 1963), Alttestamentler, presbyterianischer Pastor und Autor

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.
