Trueman on Packer
Jim Packer and Martin Lloyd-Jones were the first two Christian authors I read as a new Christian. Packer’s Knowing God and Lloyd-Jones’ Great Doctrines of the Bible were formative right out of the gate. Recently, I finished Murray’s two-volume biography on Lloyd-Jones and learned quite a bit more about these two men, their friendship, and their parting over the future of British evangelicalism.
So I really appreciated Carl Trueman’s summary of Packer’s legacy as he sees it. (HT: Westminster Bookstore)
