John Stott

John R. W. Stott

While Christians have had a long heritage of rigorous scholarship and careful thinking, some circles still view the intellect with suspicion or even as contradictory to Christian faith. And many non-Christians are quick to label Christians as anti-intellectual and obscurantist. But this need not be so.

Your Mind Matters

I have a lot of respect for John Stott and really really benefited from and enjoyed his book "Balanced Christianity"! However, this book was just okay for me. I enjoyed his structure (dealing with the mind's relation to creation, revelation, redemption and judgement and how the mind relates to the Christian life) and resonated with his frustration with Christians who are anti-intellectual.....but the book was just okay. Perhaps I am too mystical and charismatic, but I just thought he took things a bit too far. And the writing wasn't that enjoyable to engage with.
