John Piper citáty

John Stephen Piper je americký reformovaný baptistický teológ a učiteľ. Je autorom mnohých kníh s kresťanskou tematikou a zakladateľom organizácie Desiring God pomenovanej podľa jeho knihy. Jej cieľom je "šíriť nadšenie pre Božiu zvrchovanosť vo všetkých veciach pre radosť všetkých ľudí skrze Ježiša Krista“.

John Piper je tiež známy svojimi názormi na kresťanský hedonizmus, a pre svoju výnimočnú obhajobu kalvinizmu je niektorými nazývaný "superstar kalvinizmu".

V rokoch 1974 – 1980 vyučoval biblistiku na Bethel College v St. Paule v Minnesote; od roku 1980 pôsobil niečo vyše 30 rokov ako pastor cirkevného zboru Bethlehem Baptist Church v Minneapolise.Vo svojej teológii nadväzuje na Jonathana Edwardsa. Wikipedia
