Basic Christianity
Summary
'If Jesus was not God in human flesh, Christianity is exploded,' writes John Stott. 'We are left with just another religion with some beautiful ideas and noble ethics; its unique distinction has gone.' Who is Jesus Christ? If he is not who he said he was, and if he did not do what he said he had come to do, the whole superstructure of Christianity crumbles in ruin. Is it plausible that Jesus was truly divine? And what would that mean for us? John Stott's clear, classic book, now updated, examines the historical facts on which Christianity stands. Here is a sound, sensible guide for all who seek an intellectually satisfying explanation of the Christian faith. John Stott was one of the key figures of evangelicalism throughout the 20th century, leading up to his death in 2011. He was named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and spent much of his life in ministry at All Souls, Langham Place.

The Gospel
Summary
Part of the Contemporary Christian series. John Stott's best-selling volume, The Contemporary Christian: An Urgent Plea for Double Listening, updated and presented for today's audience. What is the authentic gospel? How do we answer the sceptics? Christianity is not a religion but God's good news for the world. This implies that it has both a divine origin and a human relevance: it comes from God, and it speaks to our condition. So, before we ask, 'What is the gospel?', we need to ask, 'What is a human being?' Chapter one: The human paradox looks at what the Bible teaches and what our experience endorses: the glory and shame of our humanness, both our dignity as creatures made in God's image and our depravity as sinners under his judgement. Chapter two: Human freedom: what is traditionally called 'salvation', seen in terms of 'authentic freedom'. Chapters three and four: The central themes of the death and resurrection of Jesus, securing our freedom. This section also looks at a number of objections and denials. Chapter five: The far-reaching implications, both for faith and for life. Radical indeed is the discipleship which takes all of this and Christ's lordship seriously. It's nothing short of a life-changing message. About the author: John Stott exercised a worldwide ministry as a church leader, Bible expositor and author. His best-selling books have been translated into numerous languages, won several awards and shaped whole generations of ministers, thinkers, writers and bloggers. John was Rector Emeritus of All Souls Langham Place, London, and Founder-President of the Langham Partnership. He was awarded the CBE in the Queen's 2006 New Year honours.
