The God of the Bible is something practical. To experience him, you don't need to escape the problems of this world into higher spheres. Nothing happens there. Just look at where the biblical stories took place — right in the middle of our everyday troubles.

Theo Lehmann

Theo Lehmann (* 1934) ist ein deutscher evangelisch-lutherischer Theologe, Buchautor und ehemaliger Jugendpfarrer, der in der DDR durch überregionale Jugendgottesdienste in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz) bekannt wurde. Er verband Blues- und Gospelmusik mit profilierter Verkündigung gegen staatliche Repressionen, geriet später jedoch durch scharfe theologische und gesellschaftspolitische Äußerungen in die Kritik. Für Bibelleser stehen seine pointierten Texte für ein geradliniges Bekenntnis zur Bibel und die Ermutigung, den Glauben auch unter gesellschaftlichem Gegenwind zu vertreten.
