John Benton studied at the University of Sussex, where he earned a science doctorate. He serves as co-pastor in Guildford, Surrey at the Chertsey Street Baptist Church, and also works as the managing editor of Evangelicals Now, a monthly newspaper. He has co-authored multiple books with his wife, Ann. J. Benton books include Coming to Faith in Christ, written for people who are just considering the Christian faith. This book is written in a straightforward style, containing relevant Bible references for readers to explore further, and is really a booklet-style tract. Evangelistic Calvinism explores each of the five points of Calvinism, comparing each of these doctrines of grace to five beautiful diamonds through which the glories of Jesus can shine. This is also a booklet-style tract. In God’s Riches, Benton has created an introductory workbook to Christian doctrine, helping Christians to systematically study to grow their faith.
A short but important book. It sets out very clearly the Evangelical Christian position of marriage, the role of men and women in the church and society as well on sexuality.
I recommend it to all Christians to read and to any interested in understanding the Christian outlook.
It provides a basis for considering transgender issues although it does not mention them. The book is one of the few I would suggest could even serve as the basis of a church study group.
I have read a few books in this topic but this one stood out for me. It was easy to follow and quite informative. It really helped me understand God's design for gender as well as answered some questions I had. Highly recommend!
