Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

Opening with Ephesians 1:10 and the purpose to “sum up all things in Christ,” Austin-Sparks unfolds Christ as the Heavenly Man, in whom God’s eternal purpose, life, Word, and glory are revealed. From the contrast between Adam and Christ, he considers the Church as Christ’s corporate expression and the source of its unity. The reader is called to leave the ground of fallen human nature, know Christ by revelation, and live on His heavenly ground. First published in A Witness and A Testimony magazines, 1937-1939.
