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.

Notes 209
A brilliant book. * Christopher Ash * I vividly recall reading this book in its earliest version... and it contained the stand-out set of arguments that persuaded me to commit my life to Christ. * Andrew Fergusson * A shaft of light. * Jonathan Lamb * Not only one of John Stott's finest books, but one of the most important to be written in recent decades. * Vaughan Roberts * Profound, lucid and compelling, this book is as relevant to current debates as when it was first published. * John Wyatt *
