When John Stott speaks, evangelicals still sit up and listen. There may be, as he says, many 'tribes' within evangelicalism, but most of them still acknowledge him as a leader, guide and model. Surely, therefore, no-one could be better placed to deliver a 'personal plea for unity.'
Stott is on familiar ground in this book. In the three main chapters he gives us his summary of evangelical truth, because that is the only basis for our unity. Each chapter is dedicated to one person of the Trinity, because he defines our evangelical distinctive as the revelation of God, the cross of Christ, and the ministry of the Spirit. Each is treated with his customary clarity, with good subheadings. All is argued from Scripture with conviction, warmth, passion and charity.
