Jen Wilkin

Jen Wilkin (* 1969) ist eine US-amerikanische evangelikal-reformierte Autorin, Referentin und Bibellehrerin, die lange Zeit im Leitungsbereich von The Village Church in Texas wirkte. Sie plädiert für ein intellektuell fundiertes, induktives Bibelstudium, geriet jedoch in Teilen des konservativen US-Evangelikalismus wegen ihrer Kritik an starren Rollenbildern und ihrer Forderung nach mehr Mitsprache für Frauen in die Diskussion. Bibellesern vermittelt sie strukturierte Methoden zur eigenständigen Textarbeit und zum systematischen Verständnis biblischer Theologie.
