Ray C. Stedman

Ray C. Stedman (1917–1992) war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der vier Jahrzehnte lang die Peninsula Bible Church im kalifornischen Palo Alto prägte. Bekanntheit erlangte er insbesondere durch sein Werk „Body Life“, mit dem er ein von allen Gläubigen aktiv mitgestaltetes Gemeindeverständnis sowie die fortlaufende Auslegung ganzer biblischer Bücher förderte. Für Bibelleser bieten seine archivierten Schriften bis heute leicht verständliche und praxisnahe Zugänge zum Bibeltext.
