In Episode 9 of The Stott Legacy podcast, Mark Meynell chats to Australian historian and theologian Dr John Dickson.
He has a PhD in ancient history and had teaching posts in his native city, Sydney Australia, at Macquarie University and the University of Sydney’s Department of Jewish Studies; more recently he had a visiting role in the University of Oxford classics department.
He is also an ordained Anglican minister and has led a church in Sydney. But as if that wasn’t enough, he was the founder of the Centre for Public Christianity and is a writer and media presenter, currently known for his excellent Undeceptions podcast. He is passionately concerned to communicate the Christian gospel to sceptics and to that end, has written a number of successful and helpful books.
Yet the primary reason for getting him onto our podcast is that when asked to describe his churchmanship (especially when visiting the USA), he describes himself as ‘a John Stott evangelical’. So naturally, this amongst other things was the focus of our conversation.
