• Recipient of a year 2000 Christianity Today Award of Merit

What truth do we hold in common?

Evangelicalism in the twentieth century has divided into many different branches--conservative, progressive, Reformed, charismatic and more. Does any common ground remain that all can gladly affirm?

From John Stott, one of evangelicalism's leading statesmen for more than fifty years, comes this statement that boldly places the trinitarian gospel at the center of faith. Evangelical Truth is an exquisite crystallization of essential beliefs about revelation, the cross and the work of the Spirit. Recognizing that how this truth is lived is just as important as how it is believed, Stott calls on all evangelicals to integrity, perseverance and humility. Always lucid, always engaging, John Stott directs readers of many persuasions away from their differences and toward glorious celebration and partnership in the work of the Father, Son and Spirit.

John R. W. Stott (1921–2011) was known worldwide as a preacher, evangelist, and communicator of Scripture. For many years he served as rector of All Souls Church in London. A leader among evangelicals in Britain, the United States, and around the world, Stott was a principal framer of the landmark Lausanne Covenant (1974). His connections in and heart for the global church led him to found Langham Partnership. Langham continues its work today, equipping key leaders to preach God's Word clearly, faithfully, and relevantly in over 140 countries. Stott's many books, including Basic Christianity and The Cross of Christ, have sold millions of copies.
