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

“All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.”

“If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.”

“If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.9 God did not create you for this. There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: “This much, O God, I want you.””

A Hunger for God: Desiring God through Fasting and Prayer (Crossway Books, 1997, ISBN 0891079661.

“If God should turn away from himself as the Source of infinite joy, he would cease to be God. He would deny the infinite worth of his own glory. He would imply that there is something more valuable outside himself. He would commit idolatry… Where will we find a Rock of integrity in the universe when the heart of God has ceased to value supremely the supremely valuable?”
