We often imagine Jesus as the ultimate peacemaker, as one who saw
all sides and kindly overlooked differences of belief or practice.
The Gospels say this was not so. Jesus drew sharp lines. He
disagreed with many. He rejected being broadminded on a variety of
topics. He engaged in vigorous debate, especially with several
different groups of religious leaders. What conflicts did he have?
He argued that we would experience a supernatural afterlife, that
our natural existence is not all God has planned. He disagreed that
human tradition should not supersede Scripture, our foundational
authority. He clashed on whether the Bible was not an end in
itself, contending that its purpose pointed beyond itself. He
sharply articulated that God accept us by virtue of what we receive
from him, not by what we do for him. These and other controversies
clarify the core distinctives of the Christian faith which, John
Stott boldly asserts, are nothing less than the distinctives of the
evangelical faith. This text of Stott's classic, Christ the
Controversialist, now edited by David Stone for the twenty-first
century, was controversial when it was first published. It is no
less controversial today.
