Brought together for the first time, this book contains most of Dr. John Stott's preaching at the annual Keswick Convention in the United Kingdom, spanning nearly forty years from 1965 to 2000. Each sermon is a masterpiece of lucidity, analysis and deep biblical understandings.The teaching includes 'The Privileges of the Justified' (Romans 5-8: 1965); 'God's Gospel in a Time of Crisis' (2 Timothy: 1969); 'Christ's Portrait of a Christian' (Matthew 5-7: 1972); 'God's New Society' (Ephesians: 1975); 'Gospel and Church' (I Corinthians: 1978) and the 2000 studies in 1 Corinthians. Three evening talks are also included. While the style may have changed over the years, Dr. Stott's commitment to the word of God remained rock solid throughout.
John Robert Walmsley Stott is a British Christian leader and Anglican clergyman who is noted as a leader of the worldwide evangelical movement. He is famous as one of the principal authors of the Lausanne Covenant in 1974.
Stott was ordained in 1945 and went on to become a curate at All Souls Church, Langham Place (1945-1950) then rector (1950-75). This was the church in which he had grown up, and in which he has spent almost all of his life, aside from a few years spent in Cambridge.
Stott played a central role at two landmark events in the history of British evangelicalism. He was chairing the National Assembly of Evangelicals in 1966, a convention organised by the Evangelical Alliance, when Martyn Lloyd-Jones made an unexpected call for evangelicals to unite together as evangelicals and no longer within their 'mixed' denominations.
