People who live out of hope see further. People who live out of love see deeper. People who live out of faith see everything in a different light.

Lothar Zenetti

Lothar Zenetti (1926–2019) war ein deutscher römisch-katholischer Priester, Schriftsteller und Rundfunkbeauftragter aus Frankfurt am Main. Als wichtiger Wegbereiter des Neuen Geistlichen Liedes verband er moderne Lyrik mit zeitgenössischer Musik, womit er in traditionellen kirchlichen Kreisen zeitweise Kritik auslöste. Bibellesern eröffnet seine schlichte, bildhafte Sprache Zugänge zu biblischen Motiven und ermutigt zu gelebter christlicher Hoffnung über Konfessionsgrenzen hinweg.
