Het evangelie volgens het Oude Testament

by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, P.M. van Overbeeke (Translator)

Het evangelie vanuit het oude testament verkondigen aan ongelovigen, twijfelaars en sceptici is in deze tijd helemaal niet voor de hand liggend. Toch heeft dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones dit juist gedaan. Hij was er diep van doordrongen dat veronachtzaming van het oude testament desastreuze gevolgen voor de kerk zou hebben. De eerbied en het ontzag voor God zullen dan verdwijnen.
Een ander belangrijk uitgangspunt van Lloyd-Jones was dat het dringend nodig is, naast preken die gericht zijn op de bouw van de gelovigen, ook speciaal preken te houden met het oog op degenen die ongelovig zijn, twijfelen, of die bewust aan de zonde vasthouden. Juist voor deze laatste groep maakte hij veel gebruik van teksten uit het oude testament.
In dit boek is een selectie van deze krachtige, indringende preken samengebracht.
Het boek wordt ingeleid door Dr. Ian A. Murray, die de achtergronden van deze preken uiteenzet en de visie van Lloyd - Jones op het oude testament in relatie tot de krachtige oproep tot bekering en geloof belicht.

About the author

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was married to Bethan Lloyd-Jones

[Joshua Schwisow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Powerful examples of preaching the gospel in the Old Testament. These sermons illustrate the truth of 2 Timothy 3:

2 Timothy 3:15

[15] and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

Brilliant. Every chapter shines light on easily overlooked truths and realities of the gospel in the OT. Wish I’d read it years ago, so clear and powerful and faithful to the written Word.

an excellent collection of sermons from a surgeon of souls. just as a doctor explains what’s normal and abnormal, he presents what man is as God intended, and a most thorough pathology of what’s wrong in man. by thorough i mean he explains its different manifestations based on a definitive diagnosis of sin; and it is as definitive as a pathologist diagnosed a disease grossly, histologically, molecularly, and genetically. by it he is also able to eliminate other differential diagnoses that the world gives. lastly, he gives The Cure as a glorious, willing, able, and loving cure that Christ is. on a personal note, lloyd jones read my past so accurately. i found it such a winsome and soul-stirring read.

Interesting to get an insight into Lloyd-Jones evangelistic preaching.

[Christian Lefko · Rating 5 out of 5]

Phenomenal examples of evangelistic preaching, it is edifying to hear the Gospel is so many different ways and in different texts

[Sean Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent book! I wouldn't recommend reading it "continuously" over a short period of time because many of the sermon illustrations are similar and it might start feeling repetitive. I read one sermon a week as a "day off read" and that was a good interval for me.
