The Difference between Evangelicals and Fundamentalists sets out John Stott’s thinking and is by Roger Steer. It comes as a David Virtue VOL Exclusive www.virtueonline.org of November 13, 2009.  To whet your appetite:

Over a period of a few months during 1998, John [Stott] wrote his Evangelical Truth: a personal plea for unity. ‘As I approach the end of my life on earth,’ he wrote, ‘and as this year I complete sixty years of privileged Christian discipleship, I would like to leave behind me, as a kind of spiritual legacy, this little statement of evangelical faith, this personal appeal to the rising generation.’

Twenty years on from answering the questions ‘What is an evangelical?’ at Nottingham in 1977, he chose a Trinitarian approach to evangelical truth. But first, he set out ten respects in which the authentic evangelical differed from the fundamentalist. In doing so he tried to be as fair as he could to fundamentalists trying desperately to avoid caricature.

A very stimulating and much needed article, The Difference between Evangelicals and Fundamentalists.

As ever, I gained from John Stott’s erudition and clarity. I am sure Joe Hockey would likewise gain: see, Joe Hockey on faith and society.
