Contemporary Christian

The Contempory Christian, Applying God’s Word to Today’s World by John Stott from Intervarsity Press is now available in convenient softcover. John Stott makes a trumpet call to all disciples of Christ to be both contemporary and Biblical. The first means to live and move with the times. The second requires that we retain unswerving loyalty to God’s Word. Combining the two is not an easy task. Today people reject Christianity, not because they think it is false, but because they think it is irrelevant. Disciples, he says, can prepare for this task by cultivating a listening ear, embracing both mind and emotions, and finding God’s true guidance. In addition, he sympathetically uncovers the emptiness of secular men and women, demonstrating how the church can meet their quests with the truth and grace of Jesus Christ. John Stott is knwon worldwide as a gifted evangelist, preacher, scholar and Christian statesman. Among his books are Basic Christianity, The Cross of Christ, and Romans.
