Timothy Dudley-Smith's authorised biography continues the story
begun in 'John Stott: the making of a leader'. This second volume
encompasses the last forty years of the twentieth century. It
begins in 1960 when John Stott, the established Rector of All Souls
Church, author of several books, and already something of a world
traveller, had clearly emerged as a widely respected evangelical
leader of energy and vision. 'John Stott: a global ministry'
recounts the extraordinary growth of his worldwide ministry. In
Britain he was the chief architect of NEAC, the National
Evangelical Anglican Congress, in 1967 and 1977. In Montreux,
Berlin and Amsterdam he worked with Billy Graham especially in
shaping the momentous Lausanne vision for world evangelisation.
Travelling from continent to continent, with a particular concern
for Christian students and pastors in the developing world, he
spoke, preached and lectured tirelessly on mission, evangelism and
social concern. In growing demand as a biblical expositor, his
experience of teaching in different cultures and countries, often
by interpretation, was invaluable in guiding 'The Bible Speaks
Today' series. His call for a contemporary biblical discipleship
and the development of a Christian mind, not least through the
London Institute for Contemporary Christianity, became a hallmark
of his teaching through the decades of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s,
skilfully chronicled in this highly readable biography. Creative
conflict and drama are ever present, as John Stott is found in
dialogue, debate and dispute not only with unbelievers, but with
outstanding liberals, charismatics, Anglo-Catholics, Roman
Catholics, and fellow evangelicals; with Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones and
with Bishop Jack Spong; responding to Honest to God, to Bishop
David Jenkins, to ARCIC and its Agreed Statements, and to The Myth
of God Incarnate.
