The mark of every false religion is a man-centeredness in which God depends on us, instead of us depending on Him.

— Jerry Cross (b. 1945), Missionar, Dozent und Autor

Jerry Cross

Jerry Cross (* 1945) ist ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Theologe und Missionar, der ab den 1970er-Jahren vor allem in Chile und weiteren Ländern Lateinamerikas in der Gemeindegründung und Leiterschulung wirkte. In seinen Lehrprogrammen und Schriften wendet er sich gegen religiöse Gesetzlichkeit und betont eine kompromisslose Gnadenlehre. Bibellesern schärft er den Blick dafür, dass christlicher Glaube auf dem Vertrauen in das vollbrachte Werk Christi und nicht auf eigener Leistung beruht.
