D. Martyn Lloyd–Jones and the Holy Spirit: A Theological AssessmentWith a Foreword by Sinclair B. FergusonThis groundbreaking study examines D. Martyn Lloyd–Jones’s theology of the Holy Spirit, particularly focusing on his controversial teaching about the baptism of the Spirit, revival, and the relationship between Word and Spirit in preaching. Drawing extensively on Lloyd–Jones’s sermons, lectures, and previously unpublished materials, Philip Eveson demonstrates that Lloyd–Jones stood firmly within the Reformed tradition while emphasising the experiential aspect of Christianity that characterised early Calvinistic Methodism. The book provides fresh insights into Lloyd–Jones’s thinking by exploring his medical background, his Welsh Methodist roots, and his profound engagement with Puritan writers. It carefully analyses his understanding of Spirit baptism, assurance,and revival, showing how his position differed from both Pentecostalism and cessationism. Particularly valuable is the detailed examination of Lloyd–Jones’s philosophy of preaching and his insistence on both doctrinal accuracy and spiritual power. The author convincingly argues that Lloyd–Jones’s emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s work offers vital insights for contemporary Reformed Christianity. Two valuable appendices provide previously unpublished material: Lloyd–Jones’s important address on the Welsh Revival of 1904–05, and his personal spiritual journal from 1930–31. An extensive bibliography guides readers to primary and secondary sources for further study. Essential reading for ministers, theological students, and anyone interested in Lloyd–Jones’s legacy or the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian life and ministry.
