Balanced Christianity (Expanded Edition)
John StottLarge Format Paperback 2014-01-01
John Stott addresses the tendency of evangelical Christians to emphasise relatively minor points of difference with each other, and to neglect the substantial areas of common ground. This book shows how these tensions can be held together in a way that is biblically faithful. 128 pages, from IVP UK.
Publisher Description
Christians tend to polarize. Some have intellectual faith, while others are more emotional. Some focus on structure, while others focus on freedom. And some champion evangelism, while others advocate social action. John Stott's clear-headed and classic statement of balanced Christianity shows how we can hold these tensions together in ways which are biblical and faithful. 'The liberal to me, is like a gas-filled balloon which takes off into the ether and is not tethered to the earth in any way,' he says. 'The fundamentalist is like a caged bird, unable to escape at all. To me, the true evangelical is like a kite which flies high but at the same time is always tethered.' This edition includes an interview entitled 'Life in the Spirit of Truth' between Roy McCloughry and the author.
