"David Edwards describes John Stott as, with the exception of William Temple, 'the most influential clergyman in the Church Of England of the 20th century'. It was appropriate, therefore, that for the millennium 'London Lectures', in fact founded by John Stott, he should have been invited to be the lecturer. The topic in such a year could be none other than Jesus and 'The Incomparable Christ', a magnificent four-part overview of Jesus Christ based upon these lectures.
"Each Lecture is worked up into a section of the book; The biblical record - The Original Jesus; The teaching of the Church - The Ecclesiastical Jesus; Personal responses from great people - The Influential Jesus; The challenge for today - The Eternal Jesus.
"As we might expect from John Stott, the book deals with issues in depth but in a way that is easily accessible.
"The final section of the book presents the eternal Jesus, interestingly presented to us through comment upon the Book of Revelation. Here we have what is almost a mini-commentary, taking this most difficult book and showing us "the eternal Christ who never changes, but who challenges us to follow him today".
"This is a book to treasure, to stretch our minds and to be a helpful resource in years to come. Above all else, it lifts up Jesus Christ, just as John Stott has done in his lifetime of ministry." Martin Turner, Methodist Recorder
