In this book he challenges all of us to move with the times while standing firmly on the truth of God's Word. \"To be 'contemporary' is to live in the present,\" Stott writes. \"To be a 'contemporary Christian, ' however, is to ensure that our present is enriched both by our knowledge of the past and by our expectation of the future.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe challenge, then, is to be both conservative and radical--conservative in guarding God's revelation and radical in applying that revelation to the realities of the contemporary world: space travel, homelessness, genetic engineering, pollution, war, health care, gang violence, education and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpening our eyes to the Word and the world, Stott shows how Christianity can speak effectively and relevantly to the contemporary world. He includes chapters on the human paradox, authentic freedom, mind and emotions, evangelism and social action, the pastoral ideal and dimensions of renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those familiar with Stott, \u003ci\u003eThe Contemporary Christian\u003c\/i\u003e is a \"must-read\" book.
