Sanctification is a dynamic outworking of the gospel in the life of every believer. The process of conformity to God thrives not when we tweak our attitude here, and modify our behavior there, but when we grow entranced with God, and Christ the “founder and perfecter of our faith” looms large before us, magnificent in holiness, awesome in splendor, tenacious in love.

Owen Strachan

Owen Strachan (* 1981) ist ein US-amerikanischer Theologieprofessor und Buchautor aus dem konservativen, reformiert-baptistischen Spektrum. Er ist bekannt für sein komplementaristisches Verständnis der Geschlechterrollen sowie seine Auseinandersetzung mit progressiven Gesellschaftsströmungen und geriet auch für seine Lehre zur funktionalen Unterordnung des Sohnes in der Trinität in theologische Kritik. Bibellesern begegnet er als pointierter Ausleger zu Fragen der Schöpfungsordnung, Jüngerschaft und Schriftautorität, dessen kulturkritische Positionen teils stark polarisieren.
