Synopsis:

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. Here is a Christian value-system, ethical, standard, religious devotion, attitude to money, ambition, lifestyle and network of relationships - all of which are totally at variance with those in the non-Christian world. And this Christian counter-culture is the life of the Kingdom of God, a fully human life indeed but lived out under the divine rule.'
In his careful exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, John Stott accurately expounds the biblical text and relates it to life today. Above all, the author says, he wants to let Christ speak this sermon again, this time to the modern world.

About the Author: Known worldwide as a Bible teacher, writer, pastor and mission leader, John Stott was the author of many books, including the best-selling Basic Christianity. He was, until his death in 2011, Rector Emeritus of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, and President of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity.
