Charles Swindoll

Charles Swindoll (* 1934) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor, Autor und langjähriger Leiter des Dallas Theological Seminary sowie des Rundfunkdienstes „Insight for Living“. Er steht für eine alltagsnahe, seelsorgerliche Schriftauslegung und betonte insbesondere die Freiheit der Gnade gegenüber religiöser Gesetzlichkeit, was ihm teils Kritik aus fundamentalistischen Kreisen einbrachte. Für Bibelleser stehen seine Auslegungen heute für eine lebensnahe Anwendung biblischer Texte auf Charakterbildung und persönliche Lebensführung.
