ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr Michael Greenis an Honorary Fellow of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, a world-renowned evangelist and author of more than seventy books, includingIn 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.
