We do not trust God to give us what we want. Rather, we trust Him to accomplish His redemptive plan and evidence that trust by doing His will in the situations of our lives.

Dean Ulrich

Dean R. Ulrich (* 1963) ist ein US-amerikanischer Alttestamentler, presbyterianischer Pastor und Autor. Er vertritt eine heilsgeschichtlich-christuszentrierte Schriftauslegung und wendet sich gegen moralistische Verkürzungen biblischer Bücher wie Rut oder Esra-Nehemia. Heutigen Bibellesern hilft sein Werk, alttestamentliche Texte in ihrem historischen Kontext und zugleich im Gesamtgefüge des christlichen Evangeliums zu verstehen.
