T. L. Lowery

Thomas Lanier Lowery (1929–2016) war ein US-amerikanischer Evangelist und leitender Geistlicher der pfingstkirchlichen Church of God. Er prägte die Nachkriegszeit mit überregionalen Zelt- und Heilungsversammlungen, stand jedoch auch wegen seiner frühen Verteidigung der Rassentrennung sowie der späteren Förderung umstrittener Visionsberichte in der Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser steht sein Werk exemplarisch für die klassische amerikanische Pfingstbewegung mit ihrer starken Betonung von Bekehrung, Gebet und Geisteswirken.
