Tim Chester, presents an updated edition of John Stott's classic work, entitled "The Contemporary Christian" published in 1992. Dr. Chester, has published this book in 5 volumes that take the reader to know this magnificent classic in a more fluent and current language.
The five volumes are:
- The Gospel: A Life-Changing Message
- The Disciple: A Calling to be Christlike
- The Bible: A Book Like No Other
- The Church: A Unique Gathering of People
- The World: A Mission to be Accomplished
In this first volume, the author addresses the foundations of the Christian life, starting from the human paradox which consists in showing the glory of the human being as God's creation but also our ruin and vileness. There are five chapters where very central truths are affirmed in the Christian life, such as the resurrection of Christ and His Lordship.
Do not think that this is a book full of extravagant theological terms, although it is theologically sound, its focus is to show these issues in a simple and accessible way for every reader.
This series will be of great help to Christians who have little time in their faith, as well as those who already have many years as believers will be strengthened.
