The biblical writers…suggest that all persons will inevitably “mourn” for their spiritual state. They can wait to mourn until it is too late, when God has brought His judgment on the earth. Or they can mourn now, turning sorrowfully from their sin so that they will have no occasion to mourn when the Lord returns.

Douglas Moo
Der US-amerikanische Theologe und Neutestamentler Douglas Moo lehrte über mehrere Jahrzehnte an der Trinity Evangelical Divinity School sowie am Wheaton College. Bekannt ist der reformierte Exeget vor allem für seine Standardkommentare zum Römerbrief und weiteren neutestamentlichen Schriften sowie für seinen langjährigen Vorsitz im Übersetzungskomitee der englischen New International Version. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er detaillierte philologische und theologische Textanalysen, stand jedoch wegen der sprachlichen Revision der NIV auch in inner-evangelikaler Kritik.
