There can be no doubt about the importance of this book. It deserves to stand alongside the two outstanding volumes of Iain Murray’s biography.
The publishers pay great tribute to ‘the Doctor’ on the back cover and describe him as one who ‘dominates the history of British evangelicalism in the 20th century’ and as ‘perhaps the greatest nonconformist statesman of his generation’. On the wider front, ‘he is best known as a preacher and mentor of young preachers’ who ‘called the evangelical movement back to a robust Reformed Christianity, with a passion for biblical conviction and Spirit-empowered revival’. They conclude: ‘His impact upon evangelicalism was immense, and his legacy remains deeply influential’.
