"Jag skulle själv aldrig kunna tro på Gud om det inte vore för korset ... Hur skulle man i en värld full av smärta kunna tillbe en Gud som var immun mot smärta?" Med ärlighet och övertygelse visar John Stott på korsets centrala betydelse för hur Gud räddar vår smärtfyllda värld.

Den kristna trons främsta symbol är ett romerskt avrättningsredskap. Hur kan då korset symbolisera liv och hopp? Varför måste Guds Son dö för att världen ska få liv?

På ett mästerligt sätt lotsar John Stott läsaren fram till svaren på dessa och många andra frågor som rör meningen med Jesu död. Samtidigt bemöter han de vanligaste invändningarna mot vad Bibeln lär om försoningen.

Förmågan till klarhet var ett av John Stotts signum, och här kommer den till sin fulla rätt. Han leder läsaren in i en spännande dialog med Skriften, den kristna teologin och samtidens brännande frågor och visar vad korset betyder för oss i dag. En verklig klassiker!

Study Scripture with John Stott

The beatitudes reveal to us eight qualities that bring God's blessing: meekness and mercy, poorness in spirit and purity of heart, mourning and hunger, peacemaking and persecution. Jesus highlighted these to offer both encouragement and instruction on living distinctly as his followers in a world with values much different from God's. As we study these qualities and integrate them into our lives, we will receive the blessing Jesus promised to his followers then and now.

John Stott was one of the world's leading and most-loved Bible teachers and preachers. In this newly updated Bible study guide you can explore Scripture under his guidance, enhancing your own in-depth study with insights gained from his years of immersion in God's Word.

We live in a culture where the beliefs and preferences of the individual are given final authority. Paul's firm commitment to the church as "the pillar and foundation of the truth" stands against the current. His letters to Timothy and Titus call us to reestablish the core beliefs of Christianity and affirm our convictions about the gospel. Through these newly updated studies, John Stott challenges readers to carry on in faithfully guarding and passing on the truth of the gospel.
