What does it mean to have a faith that is centered on Jesus Christ? What does a life focused on him look like? Life in Christ explores these questions through prepositions and phrases in the New Testament such as through Christ our mediator, on Christ our foundation, under Christ our Lord, like Christ our model, and others.Anyone looking for profound yet practical help for daily life will find inspiration in this book. John Stott draws from his profound experience and his scholarly knowledge of the New Testament to present the different aspects of Christ's power in the Christian's life.
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.
