Tony Evans

Tony Evans (* 1949) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Theologe, Autor und langjähriger Pastor der Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein ganzheitliches Konzept der „Kingdom Agenda“ sowie als erster afroamerikanischer Verfasser einer vollständigen Studienbibel, trat jedoch 2024 nach dem Eingeständnis eines früheren persönlichen Fehlverhaltens von pastoralen Leitungsaufgaben zurück. Für Bibelleser verbinden seine Schriften und Predigten theologische Auslegung mit alltagsnaher Anwendung und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung.
