Your success and usefulness in the world is going to be measured by your confession and by the tenacity with which you "hold fast" that confession under all circumstances.

— F. F. Bosworth (1877–1958), Erweckungsprediger

F. F. Bosworth

Fred Francis Bosworth (1877–1958) war ein US-amerikanischer Evangelist, früher Leiter der Assemblies of God und Pionier der christlichen Radioübertragung. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein Buch „Christ the Healer“ und die Lehre, dass körperliche Heilung im Sühnopfer Christi uneingeschränkt verbürgt sei, was von traditionellen Theologen als unbiblische Heilungsgarantie kritisiert wurde. Für heutige Bibelleser steht Bosworth für eine prägende pfingstliche Auslegung biblischer Heilungsverheißungen, die zugleich theologische Fragen zum Umgang mit Krankheit und Glaubensansprüchen aufwirft.
