Evangelical Truth: A Personal Plea for Unity, Integrity and Faithfulness
Overview
This heartfelt statement from the late John Stott brings into sharp focus the defining essence of evangelical truth. John Stott’s masterly distillation of 60 years’ reflection on Christian discipleship ranges over the history of the church and its formative teachings, as well as the worldwide church today. He expounds the Trinitarian character of the evangelical faith: the gracious initiative of God the Father in revealing himself to us, of Jesus Christ in redeeming us through the cross, and of the indwelling Holy Spirit in transforming us. This is why the three-fold emphasis of evangelical faith is upon the Word of God, the once-for-all nature of the work of Christ and the active, continuing work of the Spirit.
This edition of Evangelical Truth contains The Cape Town Commitment, a document produced by The Lausanne Movement faithfully reflecting the proceedings of The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization.
