To be honest, this book left me with more questions than answers. It was also very heady listening. I could rarely listen to more than one chapter at a sitting, and was often left wondering which side of the argument the writer was on.

作者認為福音派主要的盲點之一就是:忽略教會的核心地位;側重宣揚個人得救,卻不重視叫人進入得救的群體。承認自己是「基督徒」過於承認自己為「教會分子」。所傳的福音注重新生命,過於一個新社會。而以弗所書的信息,清楚說明了神永恆的旨意,就是藉著耶穌基督創造一個新社會。

一代宗師斯托得為你開設關鍵八堂課,讓你掌握脈絡、鍛鍊方法、排除疑難,發現古老的聖經,至今仍然又鮮又活!

- 長銷35年的經典之作,加碼回饋用心讀者。
- 精彩地圖、簡要圖表、焦點問題,抓住重點更easy。

對於剛開始接觸聖經的朋友來說,聖經往往如十里雲霧,讓人摸不著頭腦。循著經卷讀下去,常常出了埃及卻進不了迦南;硬著頭皮再往下讀,更會被錯綜複雜的歷史給打敗。更有甚者,對於信主多年的基督徒,讀經已經成為一種習慣,但不知該如何解釋、抓不到重點、與生活脫節,也是司空見慣的事。

然而,聖經是全球最暢銷的書,是神亙古永遠的啟示,是祂要對你我說的話,若總是囫圇吞棗,無法從中受益,豈不是把珍貴寶藏埋在地裡了?

福音派大師斯托得在這短短八堂課中,提供瞭解聖經的八支鑰匙(八個關鍵),原來,神在特定的歷史和地理背景下,藉由特定的民族,啟示讓人得救的真理。如果對當時的歷史文化沒有些許認識,聖經故事便如隔靴搔癢;如果不明白聖經的整體信息和解釋原則,獨立的段落也將成為天書!

斯托得牧師強調,聖經乃是一本「救恩之書」,救恩必須藉著基督,所以聖經是以基督為中心的。當我們更認識聖經,也將同時對基督有更深更廣的認識,這對每個人來說都是無比的祝福。願您走入八堂課的課堂,滿載而歸!

作者簡介:

斯托得 John R. W. Stott,1921年4月27日,斯托得出生於倫敦,從小跟著母親在住家附近的聖公會萬靈堂(All Souls church)參加崇拜。中學時期,斯托得首次清楚地聽見福音並回應神,進而領受召命,要將福音分享出去。二次大戰期間,斯托得在劍橋大學三一學院(Trinity College, Cambridge)攻讀語文和神學,畢業後受邀擔任萬靈堂副牧師,爾後以二十九歲之齡接任萬靈堂教區長,堅守崗位直到退休,退休後仍忠心服事不輟。

斯托得強調基督救恩、個人悔改、聖經權威,且特別重視社會關懷。為了體會流浪漢的處境,他曾與他們一起生活,甚至在街頭過夜。斯托得牧師也是《洛桑信約》的主筆者之一,信約中強調基督徒的社會責任、福音與文化之間的關係,這些信念使他成為開拓新局的福音派領袖。

除了牧會,斯托得畢生致力於演講和寫作,出版五十多本書,如:《C型觀點──基督徒改變社會的行動力》、《當代基督十架》、《當代基督門徒》、《心意更新的教會》等,並主編「聖經信息系列」(The Bible Speaks Today series),成為當代最具影響力的福音派作家,二〇〇五年獲《時代雜誌》評選為全球百大影響人物,於二〇一一年七月二十七日榮歸天家。

“Why I Am a Christian” by John Stott is a classic Christian book with each chapter expounding on why Stott is a Christian, and the whys that should be behind our own profession of Christian faith as well. The book reads easily and yet inspires with every sentence. Highly recommend!

Some notable quotes from the book:

"Why I am a Christian is due ultimately neither to the influence of my parents and teachers, nor to my personal decision for Christ, but to 'the Hound of Heaven.’ That is, it is due to Jesus Christ Himself, who pursued me relentlessly even when I was running away from Him in order to go my own way."
(Note: this is only the first reason.)

“…we are more than material bodies needing food; we are spiritual beings needing God, needing transcendence.”

“…when worship is real, our hearts and minds are transported beyond time and space to join the whole church on earth and in heaven in the worship of God. Then we know what Jacob meant when he said, ‘Surely the LORD is in this place,’ and sometimes unbelievers coming in will fall down and worship with us, saying, ‘God is really among you!’”
