Ulrich Neuenhausen

Ulrich Neuenhausen (* 1962) ist ein deutscher evangelikaler Theologe, Autor und langjähriger Leiter des Ausbildungs- und Missionswerkes Forum Wiedenest in Bergneustadt. Er steht für eine konservative, schriftorientierte Theologie und wurde durch Arbeiten zur Johannesoffenbarung sowie zur Auseinandersetzung mit Weltreligionen bekannt. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er eine praxisnahe Schriftauslegung aus freikirchlicher Perspektive, die sich betont von progressiven theologischen Strömungen abgrenzt.
