Bücher von John Stott

"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." John R. Stott makes a forceful appeal for Christian discipleship that engages the intellect as well as the heart.

Many Bible believing Christians are convinced that God blesses those nations that stand with Israel and curses those that don''t. This belief has had a significant influence on attitudes towards the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. Claims made in books like the Scofield Reference Bible and Hal Lindsey''s The Late Great Planet Earth have fed into contemporary Christian Zionism, with radical implications for how we view our faith and the world in which we live.Stephen Sizer contends that this view is based on misinterpretation of the Bible. He provides an introduction to Christian Zionism and a clear response and positive alternative based on a careful study of relevant biblical texts. His intention is to encourage dialogue on the relationship between Israel and the Christian church and offer a more constructive view of the future and our role in it. This accessible volume includes numerous tables and diagrams, questions for Bible study and further reflection, and a glossary of terms. It concludes with a previously unpublished sermon by John Stott on ''The Place of Israel.''

"e;The Christian life is life in the Spirit,"e; writes John Stott. "e;It would be impossible to be a Christian, let alone to live and grow as a Christian, without the ministry of the gracious Spirit of God. All we have and are as Christians we owe to him."e;The Holy Spirit continues to be at work around the world, as numerous renewal movements attest. Yet much confusion and controversy remain regarding the Holy Spirit's activity. In this classic study, John Stott provides clear biblical exposition on the promise, the fruit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He offers particular guidance on the nature of "e;the baptism of the Spirit"e; and whether certain spiritual gifts and experiences should be normative for all Christians. Always irenic and gracious, Stott points the way to both greater biblical understanding and deeper fullness of spiritual life.

How does the life of the early church help us live as Christians today? John Stott unpacks Acts in this readable and relevant Bible commentary.

Tomando en cuenta la historia, descubrimos que no existe base razonable para negar la existencia de Jesús. Nació, creció, trabajó, durmió, comió y bebió, sufrió y murió. Pero, ¿podemos creer que también fue en algún sentido Dios?¿Hay evidencia alguna que apoye la sorprendente afirmación de que el carpintero de Nazaret fue el Hijo unigénito de Dios? Esta pregunta es fundamental. No podemos esquivarla. Exploremos en quién y por qué creemos. Guiados por la ágil exposición de la fe cristiana que hace el conocido expositor bíblico John Stott, descubramos si es verdad lo que cuenta la Biblia sobre Jesús. Permitamos que el evangelio responda a nuestras inquietudes, despierte y profundice nuestra fe.
