Sydney’s One Special Evangelist

History & Biography

“This finely observed and meticulously researched historical study reveals Canon John ‘Chappo’ Chapman as one of the most dynamic evangelists and preachers in Australian history. Through careful analysis of Chapman’s evangelistic vision and preaching prowess, Stace shows how Chapman adapted—with wit, cultural sensitivity, and creativity—an unchanging gospel message to the rapidly changing, secularizing Australian and Western cultures of the post-1960s period. This book will be the definitive work on Chapman’s life and legacy for decades to come.”
