Jamal Harrison Bryant

Jamal Harrison Bryant ist ein US-amerikanischer Megachurch-Pastor und Bürgerrechtsaktivist, der Gemeinden in Baltimore und im Großraum Atlanta leitet. Er steht für eine ausdrucksstarke afroamerikanische Predigttradition, die biblische Themen mit politischem Engagement gegen Rassismus, wirtschaftlicher Selbstermächtigung und Elementen der Popkultur verbindet. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Wirken eine gesellschaftspolitisch fokussierte Gemeindepraxis, deren theologische Grenzgänge und provokante Impulse im christlichen Raum kontrovers diskutiert werden.
