Adrienne von Speyr

Adrienne von Speyr (1902–1967) war eine Schweizer Ärztin und katholische Mystikerin, die in Basel wirkte. Bekannt ist sie für umfangreiche visionäre Schriftauslegungen und Meditationen, die sie Hans Urs von Balthasar diktierte und die dessen theologisches Werk massgeblich prägten. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre Texte dichte meditative Schriftbetrachtungen, während der dogmatische Status ihrer Privatoffenbarungen und ihrer Karsamstagstheologie in der Theologie umstritten bleibt.
