Club Review
In 2006, Christianity Today voted Basic Christianity one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals. The special edition of this remarkable resource from John Stott, one of our most beloved leaders, celebrates the 50th anniversary of its publication, featuring updated language, use of a modern translation of the Bible and the preface to the original edition.
Basic Christianity explains the fundamental claims of the Christian faith such as the Resurrection and Christ’s death as God’s means for our salvation, examining how these beliefs impact our lives. It’s perfect for seekers wanting to know if Christianity makes sense and for believers longing for a deeper understanding of their faith.
John Stott explores in depth the question: Who is Jesus? “If Jesus was not God in human flesh, Christianity is exploded,” he writes. “We are left with just another religion with some beautiful ideas and noble ethics....” If Jesus wasn’t who He said He was, the superstructure of Christianity crumbles in ruins to the ground. His examination of the facts on which Christianity stands provides a sound guide for all who seek an intellectually and spiritually satisfying explanation of the Christian faith.
