A.W. Tozer

Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897–1963) war ein US-amerikanischer Pastor und Publizist der Christian and Missionary Alliance, der vor allem in Chicago und Toronto wirkte. Seine Schriften betonen die persönliche Ehrfurcht vor Gottes Heiligkeit, eine innige Gebetspraxis und eine scharfe Kritik an kirchlicher Oberflächlichkeit. Heutigen Bibellesern dient er als Mahner zu geistlicher Tiefe, wenngleich Biografen auf die gravierende Vernachlässigung seiner Familie infolge seines asketischen Arbeitspensums hinweisen.
