Authority

Book Description

The very concept of ‘truth’ has been questioned in recent times. Is the notion of ‘your truth’ valid, or is there such a thing as the truth—an ultimate truth that is the same for every person in every place?

Is it up to individuals to decide what is true for them, or is there a higher authority that defines truth? Are all religious or philosophical insights valid, or is there a final authority in matters of belief?

These are questions which Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses under the theme of authority—the authority of Jesus Christ; the authority of the Scriptures; and the authority of the Holy Spirit.

First published in 1958, Authority remains a foundational biblical treatment of an enduringly important theme.

D. Maryn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) was born in South Wales. He trained at St Bartholomew's Hospital and thereafter practised medicine, becoming assistant to the King's physician. After leaving medicine in 1927, he became the minister of a Welsh Presbyterian Church in Aberavon, South Wales. He was there until 1938, when he moved to London to share the ministry of Westminster Chapel with Dr G. Campbell Morgan, who retired in 1943. This ministry lasted for thirty years until Dr Lloyd-Jones retired in August 1968. He then engaged in a wider preaching ministry and in writing until shortly before his death in 1981. During the course of his ministry, Dr Lloyd-Jones was an influential leader in British Evangelicalism
