Randy Alcorn

Randy Alcorn (* 1954) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Theologe, Bestsellerautor und ehemaliger Pastor aus Oregon, der seit 1990 die Organisation „Eternal Perspective Ministries“ leitet. Bekanntheit erlangte er mit Büchern über den Himmel und christliche Haushalterschaft, während sein Engagement in der Lebensrechtsbewegung Ende der 1980er-Jahre zu Festnahmen und einer zivilrechtlichen Verurteilung nach Klinikblockaden führte. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt sein Werk eine systematische Beschäftigung mit der biblischen Zukunftshoffnung und regt zu materieller Großzügigkeit sowie einem einfachen Lebensstil an.
