Here are 21 evangelistic sermons covering Acts 4.8 - 5.14 preached in 1965/6 with authority, passion and compelling logic. At times the material is dated, but it still rings true for our world and its predicaments 40 years on. What about the following prophetic insight in the light of Bin Laden's exploits: 'The trouble is not the Hitlers and Stalins. If it were, we could deal with the problem. The trouble is the one who governs them, and gives them their devilish cunning and daring, and teaches them their masterstrokes.'
Lloyd-Jones engages with every aspect of human sin and failure. Philosophical theories, scientific rationalism, non-Christian world religions, Roman Catholicism and liberal Protestantism are brought to the bar of Scripture. A welcome antidote to much contemporary preaching that is unwilling to say 'boo' to the most horrendous goose.
