WITH THE CHURCH IN THE BALANCE

Intellect versus emotion. Conservative

versus radical. Form versus freedom.

Evangelism versus social action. In 1975,

when John Stott first penned Balanced

Christianity, these were the issues hethought would determine the fate of the

Christian witness in the contemporary

world. Would we lunge recklessly for-

ward or pull violently back? What manner

of faith would keep us from falling?

This expanded edition revisits Stott’s clas-

sic third way meditation, inviting us to a

vigorous personal accounting for the state

of the contemporary church—calling us

to see that the truth itself hangs in the

balance.

Includes a Christianity Today interview with

John Stott addressing the need for balance

among contemporary evangelicals.

"I read this book standing in a bookstore as a college student. When 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 writes here of balance, and as a person he exhibited it. In your hands isone of the great tracts of twentieth-century evangelicalism. Savor it."

—Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary

"John Stott was a leader who never stopped learning. His posture of humility before God, before the Scriptures,

before friends and even before enemies was one of his most remarkable traits. This set of lectures captures some

of this spirit in a plain and compassionate way. For a leader who seeks humble courage, it can be tasted in this

word of witness from one who lived it to the glory of the Lord he followed."

—Mark Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary,

author of The Dangerous Act of Loving Your Neighbor

Published here for the first time in

English, John Stott’s Desafíos del Liderazgo

Cristiano —now Problems of Christian

Leadership —confronts the demons every

leader will face in a lifetime of ministry:discouragement, temptation and self-

discipline, difficult relationships and the

limits of youth.

Originally delivered as a series of lectures

to young leaders in Latin America, the

book presents John Stott in his element

as a global missionary-teacher, extending

plainspoken wisdom from a storied

career in ministry.

Includes reflections on John Stott's

ministry from two of his former study

assistants, Mark Labberton and Corey

Widmer, plus excerpts of Stott's writing

about ministry, leadership and service.

VINTAGE STOTT

Opening our eyes to the persistent

controversies that followed Jesus

throughout his public ministry, John

Stott explains why the tension-filled

social exchanges depicted in the

Gospels provide us with a key to the

heart of Christian doctrine.

"This is vintage Stott—clear, biblical,

passionate, thoughtful and Christ-centered.

. . . By brilliant analysis of the debates of

Jesus with the Pharisees and Sadducees of his

day, he highlights modern versions of the same

distortions. Profound, lucid and compelling, this

book is as relevant to current debates as when it

was first published."

—John Wyatt, emeritus professor

of neonatal paediatrics at University

College London
