Vijf preken over het gezag en de relevantie van de bijbel, door de Anglicaanse prediker en evangelische theoloog.

Autor nás svými zasvěcenými komentáři a výklady jednotlivých pasáží knihy „Skutků apoštolských“ vtahuje do zápasu mladé církve. Do zápasu (mimo jiné i o čistotu a šíření víry), který předznamenal a provází křesťanskou církev po celou dobu její dvoutisícileté existence.

Výklad kázání na hoře Johna Stotta je pečlivě zpracovaným Kristovým poselstvím pro současnou církev.

Kniha je: * je mistrným dílem jednoho z nejváženějších křesťanských učitelů * zkoumá všechny stránky kříže a jeho důsledky pro náš život * je studií o podstatě křesťanské víry * zkoumá, co o kříži hovoří Písmo, tradice a moderní zkušenost * je biblicky precizním a důkladným dílem

Tento malý spisek přináší svěží pohled na Bibli jako zdroj Božího zjevení a dar od Boha, který je třeba číst, studovat a vykládat. Ve Stottově podání zní obhajoba Písma svatého jasně, nekompromisně a poctivě. Nechme tohoto znalce Bible promluvit a vysvětlit, proč je autorita Bible zásadní pro všechny, kteří vyznávají Ježíše jako Pána.

Výklad Kázání na hoře. Cílem při výkladu bylo naslouchat pozorně biblickému textu a nechat jej hovořit, přesněji, nechat znovu mluvit Krista k současnému světu. Autor se pokoušel řešit problémy, které Kázání vyvolává u dnešních křesťanů a neobcházet je, neboť Ježíš v něm nepředkládá jakousi akademickou rozpravu, která by měla pouze podněcovat naši mysl. Autor je si jist, že Ježíš chtěl, abychom pokyny Kázání uváděli do svého života. Kdyby církev skutečně přijala jeho měřítka a podle toho žila, byla by společností, jakou si on přál mít a nabízela by světu opravdovou křesťanskou kulturu.

John Stott, anglikánský pastor, teolog a osobní kaplan královny Alžběty II., uzavírá své celoživotní dílo knihou Radikální učedník. Komentářem doprovodil Pavel Černý.

John Stott píše: "Posledných päť rokov akoby som žil vo vnútri druhého listu apoštola Pavla Timoteovi. ?Predstavoval som si , že sedím vedla Timotea a pokúšam sa počúvať a porozumieť tomu poslednému odkazu starého apoštola... . Vždy nanovo na mňa hlboko zapôsobila aktuálnosť toho, čo apoštol píše, namä pre mladých vedúcich kresťanských pracovníkov. Pretože naša epocha je epochou teologického a morálneho zmätku, ba aj odpadnutia od viery, apoštol vyzýva, tak ako vyzýval Timotea, aby sme boli silní, statoční a verní.?"?

Známý redaktor novozákonních textů se zamýšlí nad poselstvím kázání na hoře (Mat. 5 - 7. kap). Kniha přináší velmi důkladné studium těchto tří kapitol po jednotlivých verších.

Autor se ve své knize zabývá ožehavým tématem dnešní doby: postojem společnosti a církve vůči homosexuálně orientovaným lidem. Citlivě a nedogmaticky rozebírá jednotlivá pro a proti, zvažuje různá alternativní řešení a jako východisko nabízí vyvážený křesťanský pohled.
