Who was the real Martyn Lloyd-Jones? Is it the Lloyd-Jones of history – the towering figure who emerges from Iain Murray’s wonderful biography? And yet, it is the authorised biography.
Is it the Lloyd-Jones of controversy – where such effort is expended in a battle for his reputation? More is learnt sometimes about those who want him as their talisman than the man himself.
Is it the preacher who still speaks through page and MP3? But a recording is never like being present for the event – a view held by Lloyd-Jones himself.
Spiritual Journal
An important source has now been brought to light: two entries from Lloyd-Jones’s spiritual journal, transcribed at the instigation of Geoff Thomas. It is found in his book Letters to my grandson and as an appendix to Philip Eveson’s book Baptised with Heavenly power.
