    About this ebook

    For our postmodern world the very notion of objective truth is open to question if not ridicule. So in our current cultural climate of soft footings and cracking walls, Paul's unambiguous commitment to the church as "the pillar and foundation of the truth" is a timely metaphor. The apostle calls us to reconsider the architecture of a truly Christian worldview and to reexamine the gospel and tradition we have inherited.
    In the letters to Timothy and Titus, Paul focuses on the idea of inheritance. The faithful, he writes, must guard and deliver the inheritance of gospel truth. Nearing the end of his life, Paul is intent on securing the heritage of gospel truth for the next generation.
    In this Bible Speaks Today volume (previously released as a hardcover book with the title Guard the Truth), John Stott finds in 1 Timothy and Titus a dynamic truth that orders Christian life in the church, the family and the world. Here is the lucid commentary we have come to expect from Stott, ever faithful to the text and time of Paul's letters. But in a manner unique to Stott's role as a distinguished Christian statesman, this work's interpretive and pastoral voice remarkably echoes Paul for our own day. One generation speaks to another: "Guard the truth."

      Dec 22, 2017

      Anglican membership in Britain has shrunk radically in recent decades, particularly among youth. One cause is Britons' embrace of LGBT issues, which has outpaced the church's. But the church's efforts to respond are causing internal tensions.

      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.
