As to Stott's annihilationism, he has stepped back a little; he now says he is agnostic on the subject of Hell. Which is an improvement, I suppose...
His book The Cross of Christ is excellent; his masterpiece, in fact. His commentary on Romans is also first-rate.
Stott (who will be 87 this year, by the way) is like J. I. Packer in this regard: if the guy stumbles in one area theologically, that's no reason to throw out everything he's written. I thought Packer was nuts to align himself with the ECT nonsense, but I'm not about to throw out my copies of "Fundamentalism" and the Word of God or Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God or any of his writings on the Puritans.
For both men: let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater...
