Well-known American Reformed Baptist minister Al Martin has died.
Scottish-born Calvinist theologian John Murray once described him as “one of the ablest and moving preachers I have ever heard”.
Martin was born in Virginia on 11 April 1934. From 1962 to 2008, he was pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Montville, New Jersey. He was also an author, and among his writings was Preaching in the Holy Spirit (2011). In this, he declared that signs of the Holy Spirit in preaching were “a heightened sense, unfettered liberty, an enlarged heart, and a heightened confidence in the Word.”
