Edited by John R. W. Stott and J. A.
Motyer, this series of Old and New Testament commentaries is characterized by
what Stott calls a "threefold ideal" which strives at the same time
to
expound the biblical text with accuracy
to
relate it to contemporary life
to
be readable
These books are, therefore, not
commentaries, for the commentary seeks rather to elucidate the text than to
apply it, and tends to be a work of reference than of literature. Nor, on the
other hand, do they contain the kind of sermons which attempt to be
contemporary and readable without taking Scripture seriously enough.
The contributors to this series are all
united in their convictions that God still speaks through what he has spoken,
and that nothing is more necessary for the life, health and growth of
Christians than that they should hear what the Spirit is saying to them
through his ancient - yet ever modern - Word.
If you preach or teach from Scripture, the Bible
Speaks Today series will help you apply the timeless biblical message to the
everyday experiences of your listeners. And if you study the Bible on your
own, these volumes will be a helpful resource focusing on the significance of
God's Word for your own life and work.
John
Stott
Stott is known
worldwide as a preacher, evangelist and communicator of Scripture. For many
years he served as rector of All Souls Church in London, where he carried out
an effective urban pastoral ministry. A leader among evangelicals in Britain,
the United States and around the world, Stott was a principal framer of the
landmark Lausanne Covenant (1974). His books have sold millions of copies
around the world and in dozens of languages. Whether in the West or in the
Two-Thirds World, a hallmark of Stott's ministry has been expository preaching
that addresses the hearts and minds of contemporary men and women.
