Product Description

Book Description

John R. W. Stott defends the fundamental claims of Christianity and defines the proper outworkings of these beliefs in the lives of believers. Here is a sound guide for those seeking an intellectually satisfying presentation of the Christian faith.

From AudioFile

Grover Gardner can read anything. His clear, direct, and expressive delivery of this title is engaging. Anyone who finds him- or herself questioning the claims of Christianity should spend time with this book. Author Stott clearly and concisely defends the doctrines of the Bible and describes how the tenets of Scripture can be incorporated into a Christian's life. This is good for intellectual listeners, as well as for those seeking a simple explanation of the Gospel. Stott has written books sold in the millions and in many different languages. Grover Gardner's great ability to read aloud makes this a winner as an audiobook.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reading..., Feb 24 2004
By 
This review is from: Basic Christianity (Paperback)
If the average non Christian consumer were to begin considering conversion, spending less than an hour perusing a Christian book section or facing the lists of churches in the Yellow Pages would be enough to confuse them to the point of reconsidering. Christians come in all shapes, sizes, and variants. Although Paul encouraged unity in the Body of Christ, it has never been achieved. What we all agree on is a short list.

Despite that, there are some essentials that belong in every church, whether Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, or non Demoninational. John Stott has taken the vital facts that you must believe to be called Christian and placed them in a straightforward easy to read book. With a precision akin to Lee Strobel's Case for Christ, he lines out the ABC's of faith. The logic of the Resurrection to the deeper meanings in the Ten Commandments are laid out concisely.

*** Long time believers may not have any "aha" moments, but if they read this, they will have more to defend their faith than "it's true because it is written and I believe it." New believers or seekers will know what is most basic without the rigamorole variations that difer from sect to sect. ***

4.0 out of 5 stars A helpful, if incomplete, introduction to the gospel, Jan 30 2004
By 
Joshua M. Clark (Seattle) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Basic Christianity (Paperback)
Although I wouldn't rank this book as high up as, say, C.S. Lewis' _Mere Christianity_, I would still recommend it for a basic introduction to Christianity. Beginning with a few chapters on the evidence of Christ's ministry on earth, Stott continues on to show that all are sinners, and that we all have a need for the forgiveness Christ offers in the cross. This was all great and encouraging reading.

The last few chapters -- covering the appropriate response to what the previous chapters explained -- left me a little unsatisfied. Stott valuably explained the need to count the cost of submitting to Christ's lordship, but he offered scant advice on how to live after becoming a Christian, and what Christians' purpose is on earth. What little he *did* say was good, but in a primer on the Christian faith, I would like to see more about how to live in the church, and how to advance Christ's kingdom on earth. A little more practical advice here and there would have been nice.

So, good stuff. But _Mere Christianity_ is still my favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Primer, Aug 20 2001
By 
Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Basic Christianity (Paperback)
Stott describes basic Christianity in detail and then lays out a convincing plan of action for believers. He points out that we owe forgiveness and reconciliation to the death of Christ.

After the resurrection the Holy Spirit took the place of Jesus and next the Holy Spirit changed the apostles.

Stott reminds us that the claim that Christ can live in all of us is put forth in Galatians 2:20.

Stott's book is a concise introduction to Christianity for beginners. It can also serve as a good refresher for those who need to review the basics.
