I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend this book. Tony Sargent has served us magnificently.
— Terry Virgo, New Frontiers
The book creates in preachers a hunger to position themselves to catch the wind of the Spirit in the preparation and delivery of sermons. Pertinent hermeneutical and homiletical wisdom drawn from this great preacher of a recent age is woven throughout the book. Preachers who desire “to preach not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction” (1 Thess 1:5) should invest prayerful time in this book.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) and 20th Century Evangelicalism
- John Brencher
- 267 pages | Paternoster Press, 2003
Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) and 20th Century Evangelicalism is a rigorously researched, thematic study of Martyn Lloyd-Jones. John Brencher considers the significance of Lloyd-Jones' life for post-war British evangelicalism, critically examining the many events, persons and issues surrounding one of the leading and most controversial preachers in modern Protestantism. He studies Lloyd-Jones's background and upbringing, his love of his Welsh heritage, and explores how these influenced his ministry. His preaching at Westminster Chapel figures prominently, as does his understanding of the nature of the church. Also examined is the way that his Reformed evangelicalism led him in a separatist and anti-ecumenical direction. The book closes with an evaluation of Lloyd-Jones's leadership and the extent of his influence.
The book, in other words, should be read by anyone who takes seriously the important work of unusually blessed preachers, but who also wants to move beyond either simple praise or blame in assessing the long-term impact of such ministry.
— Christianity Today
An evaluation of perhaps the greatest British preacher of the twentieth century. [Brencher] analyzes the distinctive ecclesiology, the widespread influence and (very illuminatingly) the Welshness of this outstanding Reformed Evangelical
— David Bebbington
Dr. Brencher’s admirably researched study – sometimes sympathetic, sometimes trenchant, but always fare-minded – provides us with a much-needed scholarly assessment of one of the last century’s most inspirational evangelical preachers.
— Richard Carwardine, University of Sheffield
Brencher has bravely provided a much-needed and more dispassionate biography of Martyn Lloyd-Jones than has existed up to now. Much fresh light is shed on one of the twentieth century’s biggest pulpit giants. Lloyd-Jones is portrayed as fallible as well as fruitful and this book is very revealing about the story of British Evangelism.
— Derek Tidball, London Bible College
John Brencher studied art and history at the universities of Leicester, York and Sheffield, and for ministry, at London Bible College. He served Bethel Church, Liverpool as pastor and was President of the FIEC. Now retired in York, he continues to lecture and write in history. |
