Mark Batterson

Mark Batterson (* 1969) ist ein US-amerikanischer pfingstlich-evangelikaler Pastor und Bestsellerautor, der die National Community Church in Washington, D.C. leitet. Er steht für einen handlungsorientierten Glauben und wurde vor allem durch Bücher wie The Circle Maker bekannt, die zu kühnem Gebet und dem mutigen Verfolgen großer Ziele ermutigen. Während Bibelleser seine motivierenden Impulse schätzen, sehen theologische Kritiker in manchen seiner Gebetskonzepte außerbiblische Einflüsse und Anklänge an ein Wohlstandsevangelium.
