John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 2001
Scholarly, comprehensive, readable.

The Message of Ephesians (The Bible Speaks Today)
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 1979
Commentary was very readable and helpful
Dr. Stott has written a very helpful commentary from the evangelical perspective. This commentary was a very helpful guide to me and another lay leader, as we co-led a church Bible study. Stott primarily uses the NRSV English translation, but also uses Greek when ...

In 2006, Christianity Today voted this title to be one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals! Who is Jesus? "If Jesus was not God in human flesh, Christianity is exploded," writes John Stott. "We are left with just another religion with some beautiful ideas and noble ethics; its unique distinction has gone." If Jesus is not ...

The Message of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7 : Christian Counter-Culture)
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 1985
Very practical exposition of the Sermon
I am preaching through the beatitudes right now, and next year, I plan on preaching through the rest of the Sermon on the Mount. I already had all the heavy duty technical books on this section of the Bible. So I really needed a book where the writer explained the text ...

Baptism And Fullness: The Work of the Holy Spirit Today (IVP Classics)
John R. W. Stott
IVP Books, 2007
Baptism and fullness - a review
Although it was written in 1964 (and before the modern charismatic movement hit its stride), this book is one of the best short treatments of the work of the Spirit that I have read. I especially appreciate the spirit of humility in which it is written. Emphasis in ...

The Letters of John (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries)
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 2007
Great Commentary...
Stott is a great theologian. I am only in the introduction and overwhelmed. He takes great care to understand the Gospel of John. We need more theologians and pastors willing to care for the Word of God (because it is the Word of God).

Basic Christian Leadership: Biblical Models of Church, Gospel And Ministry
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 2006
Good Book, Wrong Title
Stott here does his usual exemplary job with the Scriptures he intends to unfold for us. His work is well-written, but has much more to do with Biblical models of church, gospel and ministry. There is very little real leadership content offered here. Perhaps the ...

The Message of 1 & 2 Thessalonians: The Gospel & the End of Time/With Study Guide (Bible Speaks Today)
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 1994
Helpful & Insightful
If you're at all familiar with Stott, you know that he is one of the finest Christian writers of the 20th century. Anything he writes is a pleasure to read in terms of sheer literary quality, perhaps even on the level of a C.S. Lewis. This commentary is no exception.
