Everyone has something to say about Jesus.

Sorting through the numerous books of recent years, you may find yourself lost in a thicket of viewpoints, some troubling to faith, some puzzling to the intellect. But John Stott, one of the outstanding evangelical voices of the last half century, offers in The Incomparable Christ an enriching vision of Jesus that defies measurment.

In this newly Americanized, paperback edition Stott invites you to view Jesus from four perspectives:

The Original Jesus: How the New Testament witnesses to Jesus in the Gospels, Acts and the Letters

The Ecclesiastical Jesus: How the church has presented Jesus historically, from Justin Martyr, Benedict and Anselm, to Thomas Kempis, Martin Luther and Thomas Jefferson, to Gustavo Guitirrez, N. T. Wright, and the Edinburgh and Lausanne missionary confessions of the twentieth century

The Influential Jesus: How people from St. Francis to Tolstoy, from Gandhi to Roland Allen, from Father Damien to William Wilberforce have taken inspiriation from him

The Eternal Jesus: How he continually challenges today's men and women through ten visions from the book of Revelation

This is the Jesus who is like no other--worthy of your worship, your confession and your obedience as you follow him into the future.

Review

"John Stott's books are always eagerly awaited. . . . His books always penetrate to the heart of the matter being expounded and are expressed in clear, attractive prose and as simply as the subject allows. [The Incomparable Christ] is a gem." (Themelios)

From the Inside Flap

In The Incomparable Christ John Stott brings to print his 2000 A.D. London Lectures on Contemporary Christianity. In this landmark book, one of the outstanding evangelical statesmen and intellects of the last half century directs our attention to the One like no other, Jesus Christ.

Stott invites us to view Jesus from four aspects:

The Original Jesus--The New Testament witness to Jesus in Gospels, Acts and Letters

The Ecclesiastical Jesus--How the church has presented him from Justin Martyr, Benedict and Anselm, to Thomas á Kempis, Luther and Jefferson, to Guitierrez, Wright, and the Edinburgh and Lausanne missionary confessions of the twentieth century

The Influential Jesus--How he has inspired people from St. Francis to Tolstoy, from Gandhi to Roland Allen, from Father Damien to William Wilberforce

The Eternal Jesus--How he challenges us today through ten visions from the book of Revelation.

This is the Jesus who is like no other--worthy of our worship, our confession and our obedience as we follow him into the future.
