The
evangelical world has lost one of its greatest figures of the 20th century as
John Stott died at the age of 90. He was almost single-handedly responsible for
the revival of the evangelical wing of the Church of England. He had world wide
influence across the planet, and was named among Time’s one hundred most
influential people of 2005
His lectures and fifty books have taught a multitude of
evangelicals, including me, and he will be read and remembered for many
generations to come.
He reminds me of the Apostle Paul in his simple
lifestyle—his country cottage didn’t have electricity until 2001—his decision
to remain single to concentrate on his mission, and his worldwide reach. His
writing and teaching was tight, no unnecessary words, and solid content.
He has left a legacy few will match. Read his obituary at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/religion-obituaries/8668938/The-Rev-John-Stott.html
