England was cloaked in spiritual darkness during the sixteenth century. While the Protestant Reformation caught fire on the European continent, the people of England suffered under spiritually ignorant and superstitious priests who read the Bible to them in indecipherable Latin. Gripped by a desire to see this fog lifted, the Reformer William Tyndale set out to give the Scriptures to his countrymen in their own language, so that the common far...

Jonathan Edwards, a Puritan pastor in Colonial America, is remembered for his theological works, his role in the Great Awakening, and his fiery sermons. But Edwards' chief characteristic was his passion for God's glory. That pursuit was guided by seventy resolutions that Edwards set to paper as a young man. In those resolutions, Edwards expressed steely determination combined with heartfelt reliance on divine grace to order his life in ways th...

People sometimes assume that Reformed theology, with its emphasis on salvation as a sovereign work of God, saps a Christian's zeal for evangelism. But this was certainly not the case for Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of nineteenth-century London. Spurgeon proclaimed Reformed theology with great precision--and always with a plea for sinners to come to Christ in faith. In short, he taught the truth of the gospel and trusted it as ...

Hearts are astounded. Souls are arrested. Christians are convicted, encouraged, and invigorated in their faith.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a physician by training, and he embarked on a promising career in medicine. But after his conversion, Lloyd-Jones experi...

During the Protestant Reformation, God awakened His church as His Word thundered from pulpits throughout Europe. One of the leading preachers during this time was Martin Luther, the man regarded as the father of the Reformation. Luther devoted his life to restoring the truth of the Bible to the heart of the church. He spent long hours writing commentaries and treatises explaining the Scriptures. He delivered countless lectures in the classroom...

The fourteenth century was a dark time for the church in England. Superstition and error obscured the truth of the gospel, and even the clergy had little knowledge of the Bible. Against this bleak backdrop, God raised up a scholar and preacher who would stand with conviction on His Word, even if it meant standing alone. Trusting Scripture as his highest authority, John Wycliffe believed the Bible was what England needed most. Only through the ...

England was in the midst of spiritual decline in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Ministers who merely claimed to know Christ preached cold, lifeless sermons filled with moralistic platitudes. Strife and persecution choked evangelicals in the Anglican church, while segments of the Presbyterian and Baptist movements grew aimless and feeble. Into this dark time, George Whitefield burst forth "like lightning from a cloudless sky." ...
