Richard J. Foster

Richard J. Foster (* 1942) ist ein US-amerikanischer Quäker-Pastor, Theologieprofessor und Buchautor. Er erlangte durch sein Werk „Celebration of Discipline“ sowie die Gründung der Initiative Renovaré weltweite Bekanntheit, stieß jedoch bei fundamentalistischen Evangelikalen wegen der Einbindung kontemplativer und mystischer Traditionen auf Kritik. Bibellesern dient er bis heute als Impulsgeber für die praktische Einübung geistlicher Disziplinen wie Stille, Fasten und Gebet im Alltag.
