John Stott (1921-2011) was one of the foremost Christian figures of the twentieth century. He was educated at Cambridge, studying French and theology for a double first, and then training to be an Anglican cleric. He served as rector of All Souls Church, Langham Place, in London for 25 years, where he carried out an effective urban pastoral ministry. He became known worldwide as a preacher, evangelist, and communicator of Scripture. A leader among evangelicals in Britain, the United States and around the world, Stott was a principal framer of the landmark Lausanne Covenant in 1974. His many books, including Why I Am a Christian, Basic Christianity, Your Mind Matters: The Place of the Mind in the Christian Life, Between Two Worlds: The Challenge of Preaching Today, and The Living Church: Convictions of a Lifelong Pastor, have sold millions of copies around the world, translated into dozens of languages. Stott was honored by Time magazine in 2005 as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World." Mark Meynell is Director (Europe and Caribbean) for Langham Preaching (a programme of Langham Partnership). An ordained Anglican minister, he has served in churches in the UK (in Oxford, Sheffield and London) and taught biblical studies for four years at a small seminary in Kampala, Uganda. He is married to Rachel and they have 2 university aged children. Passionate about bridging the worlds of the bible and the present, he has written a number of books including A Wilderness of Mirrors (Zondervan 2015) and When Darkness Seems My Closest Friend: Reflections on Life and Ministry with Depression (IVP 2018).
