A Trusted Resource for Clear, Pastoral, and Practical Biblical Insight
Edited by J.A. Motyer and the late John R. W. Stott, the Bible Speaks Today commentary series embodies a thoughtful balance of scholarly insight, practical application, and accessible writing. In Stott's words, the goal of this series is "to expound the biblical text with accuracy, to relate it to contemporary life, and to be readable." Each contributor is both a respected scholar and a working pastor, offering readers clarity and depth grounded in real-life ministry.
Spanning all sixty-six books of Scripture in fifty-five volumes, this trusted resource helps preachers, teachers, and individual readers alike engage with the enduring message of God’s Word. Since its first release in 1968 with Stott’s The Message of Galatians, this beloved series has sold over a million copies, known for its faithful exegesis, theological depth and accessibility, and practical application.
