Essential to proper "study" of the Bible.
I have used this DVD series in a large Sunday School and found it to be at once very effective and thought provoking.
Stott offers proofs for the authority of the Scriptures and the special authority of the Apostles, through careful inductive study of grammar, outside historical sources, context, cross-reference etc...
You will be offered the needed tools to properly examine any part of the Scriptures yourself, and know that the Truth of them could be tested and found. His prose and pace are quitessentially British and display both his dry wit and aged wisdom. You will be given many, many clear examples of his study tools.
I must admit that he makes one great contradiction or display of inappropriate inductive study of Scriptures when after affirming the proper use of grammar/context, he goes on to posit that "in his opinion" the flood was not a global event but a very geographically localized event. This does not take away from his superbe presentation and I can use it as a perfect example of how not to impose your particular interpretation upon a clear text.
