Written by Alan Stibbs

The Rev. Alan M Stibbs (1901-1971) was born into a Christian family and began to give his first Bible exposition at 16 years old. After spending time on the mission field in China, his preaching and teaching led him to the faculty of Oakhill Theological College in London where he was Vice-Principal. He played a significant part in the resurgence of conservative evangelicalism in Britain after World War Two and became well known as a Bible expositor and preacher in demand for evangelical conferences and conventions.
