Overview

John Robert Walmsley Stott was a scholar and Anglican minister. His influence spans decades and continents. One of the principal authors of the Laussane covenant in 1974, promoting efforts in world evangelism grounded in Christ's great commission in Matthew 28.

By nature, only a limited number of people over Stott's many years of ministry had the pleasure of hearing his preaching in person. Yet, through his voluminous writings he touched the lives of millions of men and women. With a characteristic thoughtfulness joined with sharp theological insight, John Stott writings on Christian living, biblical exposition, and practical application continue to inspire and encourage believers today from all walks of life.

Endorsements

John Stott was, in my opinion, the greatest Bible expositor of the past few decades because he knew how to let his deep study of the Word highlight relevant points for the daily life and thought of ordinary people.

—Ajith Fernando, teaching director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka

In our world of war and terror, there is nothing more important to contemplate than the cross of Christ. May Stott’s reflections give us the courage to fight, with all the love within us, the war of the slaughtered Lamb. The cross teaches us there is something worth dying for but nothing worth killing for, that we can conquer evil without mirroring it.

—Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical

John Stott is loved and revered in our home.

—Luis Palau, founder, The Next Generation Alliance

Basic Introduction to the New Testament

• Author: John Stott
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 2017
• Pages: 230

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

This is a New Testament introduction that has stood the test of time. Despite the age of the book, Stott's central focus on the basic message of the New Testament gives a greater resilience to his analysis and exposition, when compared to introductions that focus on other issues. With a simple format and an accessible style, Stott examines the themes and message of each of the authors of the New Testament

This brief introduction will be a terrific help, not just for them, but also for those of us who teach. Confusion in the pew must at least in part be due to a lack of clarity in the pulpit. This book has helped me to understand more about the men God used and the message they proclaimed. And so as an unashamed “fan” of this work, I commend it to you with the prayer that a whole new generation will be helped to understand the message properly, to live it out faithfully, and to proclaim it boldly.

Confess Your Sins: The Way of Reconciliation

• Author: John Stott
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 1964
• Pages: 116

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Confession is a powerful part of Christian life. Confession brings forgiveness and forgiveness brings reconciliation. In this brief volume, Stott examines how confession and forgiveness are central to Christianity and how it must be a forgiveness of love and mercy rather than mere sentimentality.

A little book can make a big impact. That is certainly true of Confess Your Sins: The Way of Reconciliation by John Stott. Only a little over one hundred pages, the book’s message has the power to renew the church today.

Favourite Psalms: Growing Closer to God

• Author: John Stott
• Publisher: Monarch Books
• Publication Date: 2003
• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Whatever our spiritual mood may be, there is sure to be a psalm which reflects it—whether triumph or defeat, excitement or depression, joy or sorrow, praise or penitence, wonder or anger. Above all, the psalms declare the greatness of the living God as Creator, Sustainer, King, Lawgiver, Savior, Father, Shepherd, and Judge. As we come to know him better through the Psalter, we fall down and worship him. These Psalms are among John Stott's favorites and he examples with thoughtful exposition why that is so.

Fundamentalism and Evangelism

• Author: John Stott
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 1959
• Pages: 80

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Fundamentalism is not a New Testament word, but it does convey New Testament overtones of truth. Indeed, the word means the teaching of that which is foundational and .basic. In that sense, all evangelicals are fundamentalists. But what some evangelicals have objected to is being identified with certain modern brands of “fundamentalism” which are excessively narrow and negative. In these pages, Stott carefully explains what true fundamentalism is, as well as what it is not, illustrating the great truths that led to this word and plants it firmly once more in its correct place in the believing Church

In his definition and explanation of evangelism, Mr. Scott has also done a service. His analysis of the elements of conversion is about the finest I have ever read.

—Billy Graham

Our Guilty Silence

• Author: John Stott
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 1967
• Pages: 119

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

In this book, John Stott expresses the conviction that despite the confusion and weakness of the age, there is nevertheless a chance for recovering the evangelical vision of the Church that was so central to the efforts of the earliest followers of Jesus. Stott calls on his readers to end the guilty silence and to one again proclaim, testify, and preach the good news, the gospel to all who might hear.

One of the values of the book is that it comes from the pen of one who has consistently put evangelism in the forefront of his work throughout his ordained ministry. He has also had an exceptionally wide experience in this field, both in parochial evangelism within the sphere of his own congregation at All Souls, Langham Place, London, and in student evangelism through university missions in various parts of the world. Out of his own ministry and experience he speaks in urgent tones to the Church of today and seeks to recall it to what is at once the most difficult, the most important, and the most glorious of all enterprise.

—Philip E. Hughes & Frank ColQuhoun

The Bible; Book for Today

• Author: John Stott
• Publisher: IVP
• Publication Date: 1982
• Pages: 80

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

The substance of this little book was given as a series of five sermons in All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, during February and March 1980. Much of the more sermonic sense of the writing style has been removed with additional explanation and discussion is provided that would have otherwise been inappropriate in the pulpit. Each chapter seeks to expound a biblical text, with the intent to lay out a incisive discussion for thoughtful lay people, who want to think seriously about the authority and relevance of the Bible. This is a basic book about the historic Christian attitude to Scripture, and about the Bible's own understanding of itself, which need "to be re-stated in every generation, and which remain the essential perspective from which to grapple with other pressing problems.
