Chairman’S Preface
CHAIRMAN’S PREFACE
It seemed fitting to the London Lectures Management Committee that in the millennial year we should focus our attention on Jesus, and especially fitting that John Stott, whose vision and energy had given rise to the lecture series, should be invited to lecture.
Our hopes were not misplaced. A lively crowd attended the lectures, All Souls Church in London being nearly full on each of the four Thursdays. The last lecture was given in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra and was introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The talks provided much to stimulate the mind and warm the heart. The scholarship and personal enthusiasm of the lecturer were clear, as he drew on a lifetime’s work and study of great breadth and depth, whose focus and centre have always been Christ.
I am delighted to commend this thought-provoking and inspiring study of Jesus on behalf of the London Lectures Committee.
John Grayston
Chairman, London Lectures Committee
