Dear Jason,

whatever brought on this view for Stott, it wasn't because of the death of a daughter, since he is single!

You will find his view set out in a book coauthored with David Edwards entitled "Essentials". This book is a conversation between a liberal and an evangelical Anglican about points of difference.

Stott's position is foreshadowed by John Wenham's book The Goodness of God. I understand Philip Edgcumbe Hughes may have shared similar views.

Yours in Christ,

James.
