Infos

'Knowledge is indispensable to Christian life and service,' writes John Stott. 'If we do not use the mind which God has given us, we condemn ourselves to spiritual superficiality.' While Christians have had a long heritage of rigorous scholarship and careful thinking, some circles still view the intellect with suspicion or even as contradictory to Christian faith. And many non-Christians are quick to label Christians as anti-intellectual and obscurantist. But this need not be so. In this classic introduction to Christian thinking, John Stott makes a forceful appeal for Christian discipleship that engages the mind as well as the heart.

John Stott served as rector of All Souls Church in London and was honored by Time magazine in 2005 as one of the '100 Most Influential People in the World.' His many books, including Basic Christianity and The Cross of Christ, have sold millions of copies around the world and in dozens of languages.
