This book is a re-cast, condensed and, in parts, re-written version of the author's two volumes D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: The First Forty Years (I982) and The Fight of Faith (I990). Since those dates, the life of Dr Lloyd-Jones has been the subject of comment and assessment in many publications and these have been taken into account. The main purpose of this further biography, however, is to put Dr Lloyd-Jones' life before another generation in more accessible form. The big story is all here. When Lloyd-Jones left medicine, he intended only to be an evangelist in a mission hall in South Wales. No one was more surprised than he in being called to a ministry which would eventually affect churches across the world. How this happened is here explained, but the theme is the person described by F. F. Bruce: "a thoroughly humble man. He was a man of prayer, a powerful evangelist, an expository preacher of rare quality, in the fullest sense a servant of the Word of God." Behind that theme a greater one emerges. In Martyn Lloyd-Jones' own words: "My whole life experiences are proof of the sovereignty of God and his direct interference in the lives of men. I cannot help believing what I believe. I would be a madman to believe anything else -- the guiding hand of God! It is an astonishment to me." - Publisher. No library descriptions found. |

Although more than 30 years have passed since he went to be with the Lord there is much about Lloyd-Jones life that speaks to us today. Matters that affected the church during his time, such as inerrancy, the sufficiency of scripture, evangelicalism and ecumenism, are still present today. His method of arriving at positions in these issues was driven by his understanding of scripture and a commitment to following God's word.
Murray has written the life story of a life that was used powerfully to serve God. I commend it to anyone in a preaching ministry, and wish that it had been required reading when I went to seminary, although Lloyd-Jones would have been quite sure that the time in my own ministry when I read it was precisely the right time.
