The ministry of Martyn Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel which began at the outbreak of World War II, was suddenly changed at the point at which this volume begins. With the congregation dramatically reduced, his hard work in the difficult War and post-War years became the preparation for his great influence in London in the fifties and sixties. But these pages trace his ministry into wider circles - to the Universities (where 'he taught a whole generation of Christian Union students to love doctrine and to be bold in declaring it'), to Europe, the United States, South Africa, and ultimately, in his books, to the whole world.
While Dr Lloyd-Jones' ministry was thus altering the course of things in the Christian world, other powerful changes were also at work. Ecumenism stirred the declining British churches and found evangelicalism unprepared and uncertain in its response. Crusade evangelism and then the charismatic movement brought additional uncertainties. These things inevitably drew Lloyd-Jones into controversy and, with a new toleration appearing within a new toleration appearing within evangelicalism, his voice was no longer as welcome as it had once been. Many were unready to believe, as he did, that the popular adjustments being made by the evangelicals were only substitutes for the true awakening so profoundly needed.
This volume contains much source material now in print for thie first time and will be a primary text on evangelicalism in the twentieth century. At all vital points Iain Murray, the authorised authorized biographer, is able to give his subjects own understanding of what happened. But neither public ministry nor controversy dominate the story. There is much on Martyn Lloyd-Jones' personal life. The foremost impression left is of the overuling of divine providence and of the spiritual grace which stone in him as a Christian. Though in the eyes of other Christians he was 'full of faith' and of the 'Holy Spirit it', yet in his own eyes he was, 'nothing, but an older sinner saved by the grace of God'.
Ian Murray, born in Lancashire, England in the Isle of Man and at the University of Durham. Assisting at St John's Free Church, Oxford, in 1555-56, where the Banner of Truth magazine was launched, he became its first editor. From 1956 he was for three years assistant to Dr Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel and, there, with the alek Jack Cullum founded the Banner of Truth Trust in 1957 leaving Westminster in 1961 for a nine-year at pastorate at Grove Chapel, Camberwell.
The friendship and association of Dr Lloyd-Jones was to lead to the Trust becoming the latter's principal publisher after 1970. With the world-side expansion of the Trust, Ian Murray became engaged full-time to its ministry from 1969 until 1981 where he responded to a call from St Giles Presbyterian Church, Sydney, Australia. Now based again in the UK he remains active in the works of the Trust.
