Synopsis "The Message of the Sermon on the Mount (Bible Speaks Today) "

"The followers of Jesus are to be different," writes John Stott, "different from both the nominal church and the secular world, different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture." In the Sermon on the Mount, the "nearest thing to a manifesto" that Jesus ever uttered, we find Jesus' own description of what he wanted his followers to be and do. In this Bible Speaks Today volume, Stott guides readers through Jesus' well-known but often poorly understood teachings in Matthew 5 through 7. Leading us to listen carefully to the meaning of each verse in its context, Stott also confronts the challenges this text raises for today's Christians and draws out practical applications. This revised edition features lightly updated language, current NIV Scripture quotations and a new interior design. A seven-session study guide at the end of the book will help you more deeply ponder the message of the Sermon on the Mount and how it speaks to your life.

John Robert Walmsley Stott (April 27, 1921 – July 27, 2011) was an influential British theologian and Anglican minister, recognized as one of the most prominent figures in the global evangelical movement of the 20th century. His legacy includes more than 50 books translated into over 65 languages, among which Basic Christianity (1958) and The Cross of Christ (1986) stand out, works that have left a profound mark on contemporary Christian theology

Stott studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he earned a double degree in French and German, and then trained for ministry at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. He was ordained a deacon in 1945 and a priest in 1946, beginning his ministry at All Souls Church, Langham Place, in London, where he served as rector from 1950 to 1975

In 1974, he was one of the main authors of the Lausanne Covenant, a key document in the history of global evangelism. Additionally, he founded the Langham Partnership in 2002, an organization dedicated to training Christian leaders in the developing world

Stott was recognized for his expository clarity and commitment to faithful biblical preaching. In 2005, Time magazine included him in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 90, leaving a lasting legacy in the global church
