Sydney’s One Special Evangelist John Chapman - with Baden Stace

One man dominated gospel advocacy in the latter part of the twentieth century Sydney.

John Chapman dominated gospel advocacy in the latter part of the twentieth century in Sydney, playing a significant role in shaping attitudes to preaching, evangelism and a series of controversies. 

Baden’s new work showcases the impact of John Chapman, giving a window into issues facing evangelicals in Sydney in the later part of the twentieth century.

Baden gives us detailed accounts of Chapman’s significant disagreements with other leading evangelicals about preaching, the place of evangelism in church life, social justice, and what role each of us plays in the evangelistic process.

Baden’s recounting of John Chapman’s disagreements with John Stott and Billy Graham at Lausanne 1974, Broughton Knox and Donald Robinson over evangelism and their view of church, as well as more recently with John Dickson, helps evangelicals better understand their story and the consequences of particular theological stances.

Baden Stace is the senior minister of St Stephen’s Normanhurst.
