Jesus, meek and mild? Think again: Jesus was a controversialist. And he still is today. Are you prepared to be challenged?
Jesus has a way of cutting right across our logic and opinions, just as he did while on earth. He took issue with his contemporaries on basic questions like:
– Who is God?
– How do we obey Scripture?
– How are we saved?
– How should we live morally?
– How should we worship authentically?
In exploring these questions, John Stott shows that evangelical Christianity is authentic Christianity, as Jesus taught, and has the power to utterly transform us.
