The age of long, detailed and heartfelt letter writing has now passed. We live in an age of blogs and texting and few would argue that depth and precision are features of this new means of communication.
The Banner of Truth has yet again done the Church a great service in reprinting the letters of Thomas Chalmers along with an excellent biographical introduction by Iain H. Murray. Chalmers was, of course, the great founding father of the Free Church of Scotland and, without doubt, the leading churchman of his day. Chalmers was an academic, a pastor, a church planter, an evangelist, as well as leading the restoration of mercy ministries in the church.
