Cloud of Witnesses: Martyn-Lloyd-Jones

-

Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) was a Welsh Protestant minister and theologian, who was one of the most influential preachers of the 20th century. He was a minister in the Presbyterian Church of Wales, but later became an independent minister, and was known for his strong emphasis on the preaching of the Bible. Lloyd-Jones was born in Wales and studied medicine before feeling a call to the ministry. He served as a minister in various churches in Wales and England before moving to London in 1939, where he served as the minister of Westminster Chapel for 30 years, until his retirement in 1968.

During his time at Westminster Chapel, Lloyd-Jones became known for his powerful and expository preaching style, which emphasized the authority of the Bible and the importance of personal faith in Jesus Christ. He also wrote many books and articles, including "Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Its Cure," "Preaching and Preachers," and "The Cross."
