Notes

List of Contributors

'In the pages of many 'tribute books', there is a sad air of closure. There is none of that here. Michael's influence continues to grow and spread. Indeed, in the very best sense, this is an unfinished book.'  
J. John, evangelist  
  
'Michael's teaching on evangelism, and his approaches to the New Testament, the historical Jesus, and to pluralism and post-modernism were of critical importance in the emerging apologetic landscape of the UK church.'  
Amy Orr-Ewing, author and apologist  
  
'Michael's evangelistic approach mirrored his style as an international fencer in his early days. His delivery was rapier-like, sharp, nimble, quick, penetrating, dashing, like a flashing blade.'  
Lindsay Brown, former General Secretary, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES)  
  
'I found in Michael the best theological balance of any Christian leader I knew. He was my ultimate theological model, much as I profoundly admired and loved many other key evangelical leaders.'  
Michael Cassidy, founder, African Enterprise

This book celebrates the life and ministry of Revd Dr. Michael Green through heartfelt memories.

Dr Michael Green is an Honorary Fellow of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, a world-renowned evangelist and author of more than seventy books, including In Touch With God (SPCK, 2017).  
  
Michael writes...I was educated at Clifton College in Bristol, gained first class degrees both at Oxford (Classics) and Cambridge (Theology) where I also gained University prizes and a Cambridge BD (senior to a Ph.D). I hold an honorary and an earned D.D.

I am an evangelical Anglican, and was for 10 years adviser in evangelism to the two English Archbishops. My main jobs have been lecturer in New Testament at London College of Divinity, the first Principal of St. John's College Nottingham, Rector of St. Aldate's Church Oxford, Professor of Evangelism and New Testament at Regent College Vancouver, and Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University. I shared the leadership of Holy Trinity Church, Raleigh, USA, and taught on the faculty of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics.

I have extensive evangelistic and teaching experience in each of the five continents over many years, and was for ten years a member of the Doctrinal Commission of the Church of England.

I have written over 50 books, among them 'But don't all religions lead to God?', 'Evangelism in the Early church' 'Thirty years that changed the world', 'Sharing your faith with a friend', 'Critical Choices', 'Who is this Jesus?' 'Baptism', 'I believe in the Holy Spirit', 'The Empty Cross of Jesus.' 'Compelled by Joy' 'When God breaks in', 'Jesus for sceptics'

I was for ten years on the Church of England Doctrine Commission, but am colourblind denominationally! And I am still a learner! I assisted Professor Alister McGrath in setting up the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, and I engaged in church planting in Raleigh, NC, in America for some years, where we saw much fruit.
