This book is a collection of seven talks given by Iain Murray over the last 30 years. Although there is overlap between some chapters, there is a real coherence and passion about the book.
The author touches on a wide range of themes: evangelistic preaching, regeneration, justification, assurance and unity, which he sees as exemplifying some of the major concerns of what he terms ‘the old evangelicalism’. Murray does not mention that evangelicalism in previous generations was without fault, but draws attention to the significantly greater level of theological understanding that characterised evangelicalism in the past than is generally the case today.
