Though He did what he could to help the multitudes, He had to devote Himself primarily to a few men, rather than the masses, so that the masses could at last be saved. This was the genius of his strategy.

Robert E. Coleman

Robert E. Coleman (* 1928) ist ein US-amerikanischer Theologe, Autor und langjähriger Hochschulprofessor für Evangelisation an verschiedenen evangelikalen Ausbildungsstätten. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch sein Werk „Der Meisterplan der Evangelisation“, das die beziehungsorientierte Zurüstung und Multiplikation weniger Jünger nach dem Vorbild Jesu ins Zentrum stellt. Bibellesern vermittelt sein Ansatz einen Zugang zu den Evangelien, der Nachfolge und Glaubensweitergabe primär als persönliche Lebensgemeinschaft statt als rein institutionelles Programm versteht.
