The nature and life of the church is one of the most crucial issues facing Christians today. Questions of ministry and liturgy, authority and freedom, appear in a wide variety of guises throughout the world-wide church. Relativism and uncertainty seem to be as common in the church as in the world. Many Christians wonder whether there is any way forward.

In this context, The Reformation of the Church is an invaluable aid. An anthology of documents, drawn largely but not exclusively from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it presents in a readily accessible form the finest thinking of the reformed fathers on authority and freedom, the need for reformation, the nature of the government, unity and membership of the church of Jesus Christ.

Warmly welcomed when first published in 1965, and widely used since then, these documents provide invaluable material for ministers, elders, leaders, students and all Christians who are concerned to see Christ’s church fulfill her God-given role at a critical juncture in her history.

Iain H. Murray, born in 1931, was educated in the Isle of Man and at the University of Durham. In 1957 he co-founded the Banner of Truth Trust whilst serving as assistant to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel, London, and served as Editorial Director until 1966. With this he combined serving as minister of Grove Chapel, Chamberwell, London (1961-69), and St. Giles' Presbyterian Church, Sydney (1981-84). He is the author of many books, including the lives of Jonathan Edwards, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Murray, A. W. Pink, Archibald G. Brown, and Amy Carmichael, among others. Iain and his wife Jean live in Edinburgh, and he continues to speak and write.
