Description
Truth matters. The apostle Paul’s passion for truth runs throughout his Pastoral Letters - that it may be faithfully guarded and handed on. John Stott is at pains to convey Paul's passionate concern for the future of the gospel, and for younger pastors charged with its care. Contemporary culture, John Stott points out, is being overtaken and submerged by relativism and pluralism - an attitude that all so-called 'truth' in fact can make no demand that others be converted to its particular show more view. The apostle's unambiguous commitment to the definite truth of the gospel is in stark contrast to the contemporary spirit, and his concern for its future needs to grip us today. show lessTags

Few people have had the impact on popular biblical studies that Stott has. Over the decades, he's written more than 50 books. This commentary on two of the Pastoral Epistles shows us why he has such staying power.
I've never read anyone else with such an analytical mind. Stott's the master of transforming a paragraph of prose into "6 points on ___", or "5 reasons to ___". I know the narrative degenerates when it's reduced to bullet points, but those points are sure helpful when you're teaching on a given text. Stott also roots out the meaning of the Greek behind the English, often quoting from BAGD.
Stott's approach to the text is thoroughly modernist, which I struggle with at times, but his insights are still valuable.
