Johannes Monrad Aagaard (29 April 1928 – 23 March 2007) was a Danish theologian and evangelist.
He founded the Department of Missiology and Ecumenical Theology and the Center for New Religious Studies at the University of Aarhus.
[5] He was a member of the Faith and Order Commission and was on the board of the Theological Educational Fund.
[6] Aagaard had traveled to Asia and was concerned about Buddhism and other Eastern religions, which he felt were gaining influence in Europe.
Aagaard cooperated with both religious and secular anti-cultists, but opposed deprogramming of cult members since he felt that it was ineffective and often counterproductive.
