More About the Author
John R. W. Stott is known worldwide as a preacher, evangelist and communicator of Scripture.

His many books, including Why I Am a Christian and The Cross of Christ, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Brian G Hedges (South Bend, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Letters of John (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) (Paperback)
When I preached through 1 John last year, this was the commentary I found myself referring to over and over again. Stott grasps the structure of the book well, is clear in his exegesis, and eloquent in his explanation of the text. As with all of his commentaries, here you find a rare blend of scholarship and simplicity, doctrinal precision and pastoral insight, exegetical skill and homiletical artistry. This was the only commentary (out of over a dozen that I own) that I read completely through.

This review is from: The Letters of John (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) (Paperback)
I haven't ever read this book straight through and I've never read anything else by Stott, but I must say that I'm glad I bought this commentary. It has been a valuable reference, especially in introducing myself to the first letter of John. I've found this to be a positive addition to my reference library and look forward to being able to dig deeper into it in the future.
