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 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.

Message of 1 Timothy and Titus (2020) (Bible Speaks Today Series)$40.99
John Stott has again crafted an excellent commentary. This work on two of the pastoral epistles is a careful exposition of Paul's thought, providing cultural clarity and theological insights into these two supreme letters to the church. As a devotional reading, I found this commentary spiritually enriching as Stott continues to reveal how the text 'speaks today' in convicting and encouraging and stirring the believer in their sanctification. \\n\\nAlso, some of Stott's views (i. e. his hermeneutic on 1 Timothy 2:10-15 concerning women in pastoral ministry) I had not come across and have led me to further study in these areas. His insights into Paul's commentary on false teachers and church discipline were especially convicting, eye-opening, and refreshing; coming from an understanding of Scripture's authority and wisdom in these areas, rather than a wishy-washy sensitivity and ambiguous understanding of love. \\n\\nAdditionally, I appreciated Stott's discussion on broader church structure, as it revealed to me the many different opinions held by diverse brothers and sisters. In this I think is one of Stott's strengths: presenting the reader with the different opinions and interpretations of passages. At times, however, I wished Stott presented where he lands in these disagreements. Not that he never does this (in fact he does more often than not) but at times he would simply present both views and move on. Perhaps, however, this is simply the nature and brevity of a small…
