Description
  • Stott looks at the tension between the sacred and the secular, to show that, in theory, everything is both secular and sacred. He gives a definition for both, including secularisation and secularism. Stott looks at Jesus' prayer in John 17:9-18. He shows that there are two communities - the world and those called out of the world that the Father gave the Son. He also shows that there are tensions between the two communities. Stott explores the issue of Christian separation of the world going too far. Stott then explores Jesus' prayer that we should be kept from the evil one, to show that we should not conform to the world. Stott stresses that we have a responsibility to be Christ's ambassador/missionary, comparing it to the moon landing. C 248 STO
