What does it really mean to affirm God’s sovereignty…? It means that God rules over all space and time and history. It means that He created the world for His glory and directs the cosmos to His purpose. It means that no one can truly thwart His plans or frustrate His determination. It means that we are secure in the knowledge that God’s sovereign purpose to redeem a people through the atonement accomplished by His Son will be fully realized.

Albert Mohler (* 1959) ist ein US-amerikanischer Theologe, Buchautor und seit 1993 Präsident des Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Er gilt als prägende Stimme des konservativen US-Evangelikalismus, vertritt ein striktes Bekenntnis zur biblischen Irrtumslosigkeit und kommentiert im Podcast „The Briefing“ das Zeitgeschehen aus calvinistisch-baptistischer Sicht. Bibellesern begegnet er als profilierter Apologet und Ausleger, während seine gesellschaftspolitischen Positionen sowie der institutionelle Umgang mit Missbrauchsfällen in seiner Denomination in der Kritik stehen.
