The Fulness of 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

“The Fulness of Christ” reads Joshua alongside Ephesians and Colossians, presenting Israel’s journey into the land as a picture of God’s purpose: believers growing into the maturity and inheritance found in Christ. It traces the necessity of accepting the Cross as the end of the old Adam life and living on resurrection ground, calling readers to depend on the Spirit’s power for growth and spiritual victory. First published in A Witness and A Testimony magazines, 1934-1935.
