John Stott's masterly distillation of sixty years' reflection on Christian discipleship ranges over the history of the church and its formative teachings, as well as the world-wide church today. He expounds the trinitarian character of the evangelical faith: the gracious initiative of God the Father in revealing himself to us, of Jesus Christ in redeeming us through the cross, and of the indwelling Holy Spirit in transforming us. This is why the three-fold emphasis of evangelical faith is upon the Word of God, the once-for-all nature of the work of Christ and the active, continuing work of the Spirit. This edition of Evangelical Truth contains The Cape Town Commitment, a document produced by The Lausanne Movement faithfully reflecting the proceedings of The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization.

JOHN STOTT est connu dans le monde entier en tant que prédicateur, évangéliste et auteur. Il a été l'un des principaux artisans de la Déclaration de Lausanne (1974) et le fondateur de Langham Partnership, qui a pour but de former une nouvelle génération d'enseignants de la Bible dans le monde.
