5.0 out of 5 stars A great read/resource for I and 2nd Thessalonians
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2014
Verified Purchase
John Stott does an amazing job getting into the details of the text and expositing them when they illuminate Paul's meaning without being too heady or abstract. He is scholarly in his approach but also shows great wisdom and insight in always staying tethered to the main idea and structure of the text, so his observations are helpful, relevant, and insightful. I found this my most helpful resource in teaching a study on these books to my women's Bible study at church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Commentary: Balanced, To the Point, Well Contemplated
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2007
Verified Purchase
Anything by John Stott has to be good. I am preaching a series through Thessalonians and have found Stott's work to be my favorite. Stott offers the meat, veggies, and potatoes. Good stuff.

If you are not familiar with Stott, he is a conservative evangelical with faith in the integrity of Scripture. He seeks to interpret objectively, seeking the meaning intended by the human author and how the original recepients would have understood these letters.

Although I do not necessarily agree with every single interpretation, I confidently recommend this one for pastors, Bible teachers, or serious laymen.

Stott is among the best at explaining the Bible from a conservative, evangelical perspective. Easy to read and understand, solid theology and with a touch of erudite humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars ideal commentary
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2005
Verified Purchase
This is classic Stott -- scholarly aware but relentlessly pastoral. This BST is my favorite series.

Stott's was the most helpful commentary I found for teaching and preaching. Also decent was Leon Morris (1991 - in the excellent NICNT series -- more technical than Stott); Leon Morris' earlier work in the shorter Tyndale series (1956); and the Ancient Christian Commentary (2000 - more novelty than practical help), vol. IX.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Read
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
A solid commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Stott's annihilationism shows up briefly, but more as a side note and you could almost miss it if you're not paying attention. The analysis was good. Valuable for Bible teachers and preachers. And if you're just wanting to get into 1 and 2 Thessalonians for your own growth, this would be a handy resource to go along with your studies. It's worth the read.
