We have followed Stott's argument from the identity of Jesus, through the reality of human need, to the work of Christ and the nature of our response — this final week, we look back across the whole journey and take stock.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Stott's book is built on a deliberate four-part structure: who Christ is, what humanity's problem is, what Christ did about it, and how we should respond. Now that you have seen the whole, how does each part depend on the others? What happens to the argument if any one part is removed or weakened?
2.Which chapter or section of the book was most impactful for you personally — and why? Was it a new idea, a familiar idea made fresh, a personal challenge, or an intellectual difficulty resolved?
3.Stott opens with the claim: 'If Jesus was not God in human flesh, Christianity is exploded.' Having worked through the entire book, how would you now respond to that statement? Do you find it more or less convincing than when you began? What, if anything, has shifted in your thinking?
