Official synopsis Publisher
Jesus Christ has been the dominant figure in the history of Western culture for two millennia, and His birth the pivotal event of our calendar.
He is the focus of Scripture: as Luther declared, ‘The entire Scripture deals only with Christ everywhere.’ He is the heart of mission, the message that countless Christians cross land and sea, continents and cultures, to deliver.
In masterly surveys, John Stott looks at the New Testament witness, at the way the church has portrayed Christ down through the centuries, and at the influence Christ has had on individuals over the last two millennia. Finally, turning to the book of Revelation, he asks what Jesus Christ should mean to us today. Here is the fruit of a lifetime of biblical study, rigorous Christian thought and devotion to the person of Jesus Christ.
‘John Stott paints a picture of the incomparable Christ on a huge canvas. He applies his incisive mind, his commitment to Scripture and his sense of awe at God’s purpose in human history, focusing with humility on the Jesus he knew and loved throughout his life. The result is a rare combination of wisdom and inspiration.’ – Roy McCloughry
