Description
'Our greatest need today is an enlarged vision of Jesus Christ. We need to see him as the One in whom alone the fulness of God dwells and in whom alone we can come to fulness of life. "The Bible is the prism by which the light of Jesus Christ is broken into its many and beautiful colours. The Bible is the portrait of Jesus Christ.'
This book aims to help us to see the portrait more clearly. John Stott examines the cultural, social, geographical and historical background of the Bible, he outlines the story and explains the message. The object is that we might be able to understand the Bible better, act on its teachings more completely and thus grow into the people God plans us to be.
Widely acclaimed when first published this new edition has been thoroughly revised to take account of significant developments in thinking and changes in attitudes of the last ten years.
