Douglas Moo

Der US-amerikanische Theologe und Neutestamentler Douglas Moo lehrte über mehrere Jahrzehnte an der Trinity Evangelical Divinity School sowie am Wheaton College. Bekannt ist der reformierte Exeget vor allem für seine Standardkommentare zum Römerbrief und weiteren neutestamentlichen Schriften sowie für seinen langjährigen Vorsitz im Übersetzungskomitee der englischen New International Version. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er detaillierte philologische und theologische Textanalysen, stand jedoch wegen der sprachlichen Revision der NIV auch in inner-evangelikaler Kritik.
