Balanced Christianity by John Stott

Balanced Christianity by John Stott

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.

I read this book standing in a bookstore as a college studentWhen done, I bought it, took it home, read it two more times over the course of the year, and then somehow I lost it - no doubt because I loaned it to a friend. In this book John Stott first opened my mind to the delightful joy of truths we cannot always resolve but to which we can commit ourselves in tension. Stott not only writes here of balance, but as a person he exhibited it. In your hands is one of the great tracts of 20th century evangelicalism. Savour it. * Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary *
Poignant and provocative. * Mark Labberton *
