Today, the greatest challenge facing American evangelicals is not persecution from the world, but seduction by the world.

Carolyn Mahaney

Die US-amerikanische Autorin und Referentin Carolyn Mahaney (* 1955) wirkte über Jahrzehnte im reformiert-charismatischen Umfeld der Sovereign Grace Churches. Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch Bücher und Vorträge, die ein traditionell-komplementaristisches Frauenbild, Ehe und Alltagsorganisation auf Grundlage von Titus 2 behandeln. Während ihre praxisnahen Impulse im konservativ-evangelikalen Raum geschätzt werden, stehen ihr striktes Rollenverständnis und der normative Druck in ihrem damaligen Gemeindemilieu in der Kritik.
