Summary

For the last 60 years, J. I. Packer has exerted a steady and remarkable influence on evangelical theology and practice. His many books, articles, and lectures have shaped entire generations of Christians, helping elevate their view of God and enliven their love for God.

In this new biography, well-known scholar Leland Ryken provides listeners with a compelling overview of Packer's interesting life and influential legacy. Exploring his childhood, college days, theological education, and professional life in both England and America, this volume combines detailed facts with personal anecdotes so as to paint a holistic portrait of the man himself. Finally, Ryken identifies lifelong themes evident in Packer's life, ministry, and writings that shed light on his enduring significance for Christians today.

Profile Image for David Brown

Interesting, comprehensive and inspiring..

If I’m honest, I have not read any J I Packer– although I was aware of his huge output. This excellent biography has made me want to read some for the first time. There are a number of books already on my bookshelf waiting to be read.
And I echo the prayer of the subject himself that the Lord would raise up new J I Packers to continue to build his church, Stand for truth and proclaim the unchanging gospel of Jesus. Thank you for writing this excellent book.
