A newly-rediscovered recording of acclaimed Welsh preacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones reveals a rare, extended debate with leading evangelical theologian J.I. Packer on knowing God.

Last month, en reported that several recordings, not previously available anywhere in the world, had been obtained by the Martyn Lloyd-Jones Trust, which is committed to preserving and distributing the teaching of the famed Westminster Chapel pastor, who lived 1899–1981.

The recording, from a Puritan Conference, sees him engaging with J.I. Packer, the English-Canadian theologian (1926–2020) who was an Anglican. The Trust describes the recording as “luminous” and “a moment of evangelical self-examination”.
