Knowing God in Christ

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)

About this book

Opening with Jesus’ question, “But who say ye that I am?” and the promise of John 17:3, Austin-Sparks explores knowing God through Christ in resurrection life. He traces this knowledge from personal union and loving obedience to the corporate life of Christ’s Body, expressed in the assembly as God’s house and vessel of testimony. The teaching calls readers to live by the Spirit’s anointing and embody God’s purpose together. From unpublished manuscripts. Published on the web in March 2010.
