I sometimes think that the very essence of the whole Christian position and the secret of a successful spiritual life is just to realize two things: I must have complete, absolute confidence in God and no confidence in myself.

— Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981), Prediger

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981) war ein walisischer Arzt und reformierter Prediger, der von 1939 bis 1968 als Hauptpastor an der Westminster Chapel in London wirkte. Bekannt wurde er für seine fortlaufende, detaillierte Schriftauslegung sowie seinen kirchenpolitisch umstrittenen Aufruf an Evangelikale, sich von theologisch liberalen Großkirchen abzuspalten. Heutigen Bibellesern bieten seine Predigten und Auslegungen ein Modell dogmatisch präziser, versweiser Texterklärung mit seelsorglicher Ausrichtung.
