John Stott - A Summary of his Teaching

John Stott – A Summary of His Teachings

This summary of the teaching of John Stott flows from the author’s own life and ministry. Heavily influenced by Stott, “it is with deep thankfulness for what I received … that I set out to compile my understanding of his teaching in this way, hoping to make it accessible for the benefit of others who labor in congregational ministry.” Current in-print Stott books, and where they can be accessed, are listed in the Chronological Bibliography.

God Knows Where They Come From!

God Knows Where They Come From!

A minister with an international ministry, a formator of priests, a national church leader, and a distinguished church historian – all from Hokitika on the isolated West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Growing up in Hokitika, these four were profoundly influenced by four distinct Christian streams – Anglican, Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian – in local churches with gold rush beginnings. In this unique book the Reverend Ted Schroder, the Reverend Dr. Richard Waugh QSM, the Reverend Father Steve Lowe, and the Reverend Dr. Allan Davidson ONZM, tell their stories in thoughtful ways – sociologically and theologically – about how their faiths were shaped and developed by their own church traditions in a small town context, and reflect on their continuing ministries.

Why did Jesus command us to “eat this bread and drink this cup?” What do we gain by taking, eating and drinking? Why did Jesus command us to “Do this in remembrance of me”?
