George W. Truett

Der US-amerikanische Baptistenpastor George W. Truett leitete von 1897 bis 1944 die First Baptist Church in Dallas und stand zeitweise sowohl der Southern Baptist Convention als auch dem Baptistischen Weltbund vor. Bekanntheit erlangte er vor allem durch seine Redegewandtheit, sein evangelistisches Wirken und sein engagiertes Eintreten für Religions- und Gewissensfreiheit. Für Bibelleser stehen seine Schriften für eine klassische baptistische Glaubens- und Seelsorgepraxis, während Historiker zugleich sein weitgehendes Schweigen zur damaligen Rassentrennung im US-Süden anmerken.
