Rees Howells

Rees Howells (1879–1950) war ein walisischer Evangelist, Missionar und Gründer des Bible College of Wales in Swansea. Bekannt wurde er durch sein Konzept stellvertretender Fürbitte sowie durch intensive Gebetstreffen zur Beeinflussung des Verlaufs des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Für heutige Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Leben ein radikales Gebetsvertrauen, wirft durch mystisch-prophetische Deutungen weltpolitischer Wendepunkte und hohe persönliche Opfer jedoch auch theologische und ethische Fragen auf.
