John R. W. Stott

Many Christians believe that they have to understand everything about their faith for that faith to be genuine. This isn't true.There are many things we don't understand about God, His Word, and His works. And this is actually one of the greatest things about the Christian faith: that there are areas of mystery that lie beyond the keenest scholarship or even the most profound spiritual exercises. Sadly, for many people these problems raise so many questions and uncertainties that faith itself becomes a struggle.But questions, and even doubts, are part of faith.Chris Wright encourages us to face the limitations of our understanding and to acknowledge the pain and grief they can often cause. In The God I Don't Understand, he focuses on four of the most mysterious subjects in the Bible and reflects upon why it's important to ask questions without having to provide the answer:The problem of evil and suffering.The genocide of the Canaanites.The cross and the crucifixion.The end of the world. "However strongly we believe in divine revelation, we must acknowledge both that God has not revealed everything and that much of what he has revealed is not plain. It is because Dr. Wright confronts biblical problems with a combination of honesty and humility that I warmly commend this book." —John Stott

Jes s nos env a al mundo de la misma manera que el Padre lo envi a l. Sin embargo, aun miles de a os despu s, muchos cristianos todav a no se ponen de acuerdo que incluye esto. Algunos creen que el enfoque de la misi n cristiana es evangelizar y salvar almas . Otros enfatizan asuntos de justicia global o la labor de alivio y desarrollo. Acaso solo una de estas dos opiniones est en lo correcto por si sola?El libro cl sico de John Stott presenta una perspectiva duradera e integral de la misi n cristiana que se necesita aun hoy. Actualizada y ampliada por Christopher J. H. Wright, Misi n cristiana en el mundo modern provee un enfoque b blico a la misi n que toca las necesidades espirituales y f sicas.Con su claridad y convicci n especial e inigualable, Stott ilustra como la misma Gran Comisi n no solo asume la proclamaci n que produce disc pulos, sino que tambi n ense a obediencia a la Gran Comisi n de amor y servicio. Wright ha actualizado el libro original con gran destreza y as demuestra que contin a la relevancia del pensamiento presciente de Stott. Este enfoque balanceado de la misi n ofrece una gu a que trasciende el tiempo para que cristianos presentes y futuros adopten el modelo sin conflicto e integral del ministerio de Jes s.

Nichts ist wichtiger, als das Wort Gottes zu h ren, es zu verstehen und ihm zu gehorchen.

It pleases the Father, Son and Spirit that the Son, Jesus Christ, be the centre of our worship, have the name above all names, and be first above all things. Everyone has a relationship with him - whether bearing his image but being estranged from him or knowing Christ as Lord and Saviour.In this book, John Stott draws our attention to how the New Testament speaks of Jesus Christ. He examines the prepositions used to help us understand more deeply, our position in relation to the Son of God. We are to live in Christ, through Christ, on Christ, with Christ, under Christ, for Christ, and like Christ - and this book will help you become truly Christ-centred.
