Leon Lamb Morris was perhaps Australia’s most prolific biblical and theological author. He wrote over fifty books of theology and biblical commentary which have sold nearly two million copies worldwide and been translated into many languages. This is an astonishing output for an Australian writing technical or academic books. He was well-known throughout the Christian world as a careful, conservative biblical scholar. Extraordinarily, Morris received no formal theological education, apart from two years of supervision for his doctorate in Cambridge. He was self-taught theologian who brought his rigorous and disciplined training in scientific enquiry to his study of the Bible and theology.

Great author! "Apostolic Preaching of the Cross" is great on the various distinctions and categories within salvation: redemption, reconciliation,justification, propitiation,atonement, etc. Very clear and enjoyable scholarly style for students, laypeople and professionals.
He's home!

This is indeed a great loss!
I've enjoyed and profited from a number of Morris' works, and have enjoyed some of his lectures or sermons; you can get some from online.
Apostolic Preaching is an epochal work, but my favorite is his Gospel of John, for the NICNT series.

Got a URL on that?
"For all the saints
who from their labors rest. . ."
No formal theological training? He earned a BDIV, THM, and PHD. Sounds pretty formal to me.
Great author. Probably one of the best New Testament Theologians firmly rooted on the believing side.
A great man and a top notch scholar.
