THE LIFE OF MARTYN LLOYD-JONES
By Iain H. Murray
Banner of Truth. 476 pages. £11.00
ISBN 978 1 848 711 808

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones died in 1981. He was a giant of the evangelical scene.

The lengthy and definitive biography was published in two volumes and appeared in 1982 and 1990 respectively. This book by the original biographer, Iain Murray, is first and foremost a condensed version of the same material. It makes Lloyd-Jones’s life available in a more accessible form to a new generation. However, it also gives the author an opportunity to comment on what has been written about the doctor more recently.
