Description

What exactly is a living church?

John Stott explains, ‘We need more radically conservative churches: “conservative” in the sense that they conserve what Scripture plainly requires, but radical in relation to that combination of tradition and convention that we call “culture”, Scripture is unchangeable, but culture is not.’

‘The Living Church’ brings together a number of characteristics of ‘authentic’ or ‘living’ church. The marks, being clearly biblical, are timeless and need to be preserved.

We are encouraged to become learning, caring, worshipping and evangelizing churches.

John Stott unpacks the Bible’s wisdom with a teacher’s skill and applies it with a pastor’s heart. Becoming a living church is not an impossible goal.
