Michael Horton

Michael Horton (* 1964) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Theologe, Autor und Professor für Systematische Theologie am Westminster Seminary California. Bekannt durch die Medienplattform „White Horse Inn“ und Werke wie „Christless Christianity“, setzt er sich für die Wiederentdeckung reformatorischer Bekenntnisse sowie eine reformierte Zwei-Reiche-Lehre ein. Bibellesern vermittelt er theologische Grundlinien mit klarem Fokus auf die Rechtfertigung allein aus Gnade und hinterfragt kritisch moralistische oder konsumorientierte Verkürzungen des Glaubens.
