Since God has paid the infinite price of his Son for you, is it not certain that he will take care to provide everything you need?

John Piper

John Piper (* 1946) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Theologe, Autor und langjähriger Pastor der Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis sowie Gründer der Lehrorganisation Desiring God. Er prägte das Konzept des „christlichen Hedonismus“, das Freude an Gott als Kern christlicher Frömmigkeit begreift, und gilt als einflussreiche Stimme der neo-calvinistischen Bewegung. Für Bibelleser vermittelt er ein theozentrisches Schriftverständnis mit starker Betonung der Souveränität Gottes, steht jedoch wegen seiner strikt komplementaristischen Haltung zu Geschlechterrollen und seiner Äußerungen zu Unterordnung in der Kritik.
