Use thy duties, as Noah’s dove did her wings, to carry thee to the ark of the Lord Jesus Christ, where only there is rest.

Isaac Ambrose

Isaac Ambrose (1604–1664) war ein englischer puritanischer Geistlicher und Erbauungsschriftsteller, der vor allem in Lancashire wirkte und 1662 im Zuge der Uniformitätsakte seine Pfarrstelle verlor. Er wurde vor allem durch sein christozentrisches Hauptwerk „Looking unto Jesus“ sowie seine Praxis regelmäßiger, intensiver Glaubensmeditation bekannt. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Vertreter einer erfahrungsbezogenen Frömmigkeit, die die persönliche Ausrichtung auf das Leben und Leiden Christi in den Mittelpunkt des Glaubens stellt.
