Baptised With Heavenly Power

D. Martyn LloydJones and the Holy Spirit: A Theological Assessment With a Foreword by Sinclair B. Ferguson This groundbreaking study examines D. Martyn LloydJoness 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 Drawing extensively on LloydJoness sermons, lectures, and previously unpublished materials, Philip Eveson demonstrates that LloydJones stood firmly within the Reformed tradition while emphasising the experiential aspect of Christianity that characterised early Calvinistic Methodism. The book provides fresh insights into LloydJoness 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 LloydJoness philosophy of preaching and his insistence on both doctrinal accuracy and spiritual power. The author convincingly argues that LloydJoness emphasis on the Holy Spirits work offers vital insights for contemporary Reformed Christianity. Two valuable appendices provide previously unpublished material: LloydJoness important address on the Welsh Revival of 190405, and his personal spiritual journal from 193031. An extensive bibliography guides readers to primary and secondary sources for further study. Essential reading for ministers, theological students, and anyone interested in LloydJoness legacy or the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian life and ministry.
