"This Stott classic has been ably updated and expanded by Christopher J. H. Wright. In fact, this volume is double the size of the old edition as Wright follows each Stott chapter with one of his own. . . . This is top flight title on Christian Mission and I recommend it."
Michael W. Goheen
"John Stott's Christian Mission in the Modern World is a small classic and remains surprisingly relevant for today. And no one is more qualified than Chris Wright to bring the discussion up-to-date—to expand, reframe and even sometimes disagree with Stott's work on certain issues within the evangelical and biblical commitment shared by both. This will prove to be an excellent basic introduction to mission and evangelism, along with providing a biblical understanding of salvation, dialogue and conversion for Christian mission. But it will also be a helpful guide to how evangelical thinking on mission has developed in the past four decades by two of its premier exponents."

From the foreword by Ajith Fernando
"Read this book, first because it has been written by one of the Christian giants of recent times. Second, read it because it gives key principles on which to base our understanding of Christian mission so that we can achieve the biblical balance that we need so badly to achieve."
World Vision
"No evangelical writer makes a more scrupulous attempt at clarity and fairness than John Stott. Notably fresh and illuminating."

"Stott contends that the essence of the gospel mission is the salvation of sinners, conversion, and the establishing of Christians in churches with those churches being salt and light in the cultures where they are located."

Though Stott’s reflection on Christianity in the modern world was published 30 years ago, his points are as focused and useful today as ever. The work is scrupulous, methodical, and extremely fair, and Simon Vance’s delivery matches Stott’s prose style wonderfully. Vance’s voice is always coolly rational. Stott takes care to distinguish between a range of theological or textual points, and each time Vance aids the listener through shifting cadence and emphasis to accent such distinctions. The only weakness--and this is minor--is that Vance doesn’t seem fully at ease with the terms from biblical languages. G.T.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
