The longer I've been a Christian, the more I feel in my heart that sin is not simply wrong, it is simply stupid.

Bob George

Robert Franklyn „Bob“ George (1933–2018) war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Autor, Seelsorger und Radiomoderator mit Wirkungsort in Dallas, Texas. Bekannt durch sein Buch „Classic Christianity“ und langjährige Radiosendungen, vertrat er eine radikale Gnadentheologie des Neuen Bundes, die in evangelikalen Kreisen wegen möglicher antinomistischer Tendenzen und seiner Ablehnung eines fortlaufenden Vergebungsgebets umstritten war. Für Bibelleser stehen seine Texte für eine Befreiung von religiösem Leistungsdruck und Schuldgefühlen, fordern jedoch zugleich zur Prüfung seiner Auslegungen zur fortschreitenden Heiligung heraus.
