T. L. Osborn

Tommy Lee „T. L.“ Osborn (1923–2013) war ein US-amerikanischer Pfingstprediger, Evangelist und Buchautor, der von Oklahoma aus weltweite Massenveranstaltungen leitete. Bekannt wurde er für seine Lehre, dass körperliche Heilung jedem Gläubigen uneingeschränkt zustehe, was ihm theologische Kritik an einer Verkürzung des Glaubens sowie Vorwürfe fehlender medizinischer Belege einbrachte. Heutigen Bibellesern gilt sein Werk als historischer Bezugspunkt pfingstlicher Mission, regt jedoch zugleich zur kritischen Reflexion über Heilungsverheißungen an.
