Authentic Christianity

Product Highlights

• Volume 1 in the Studies in the Book of Acts Series

The book of Acts is filled with some of the most powerful accounts in the New Testament. It not only provides insight into the growing apostolic church, but encourages and challenges believers of every era. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preached on this Bible book during the peak of his ministry. Now those expository sermons are gathered together in a multi-volume collection. In this first book, he delves into Acts 1-3 and compares current Christianity with that which was lived in the early church.

'There can be no more urgent question at this present time than just this: What is Christianity?'

Some define it as an elevated, optimistic philosophy of life. Many regard it as a set of morals to live by, or a good feeling about yourself, or doing good things. Still others dismiss it as something for the intellectually weak.

Within these pages, however, Martyn Lloyd-Jones challenges you to think through exactly what you believe Christianity to be and the role it has in your life. He believes that today's understanding of Christianity, even as defined by many who consider themselves to be its followers, is in complete contrast to what is taught in the Bible. Christianity is not a list of things for you to do, but rather, your only true hope, for it tells what Jesus came to do for you.

That you may know Jesus as your Savior and know Him more fully is Lloyd-Jones's desire as he shares in these messages from the book of Acts the basic truths of genuine Christianity.

About the Author
Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) grew up in Welsh Calvinistic Methodism in the aftermath of the emotional Welsh revival. In his youth, Martyn chose to pursue a career as a medical doctor and was incredibly competent and admired in his abilities to diagnose and treat patients. With a lucrative career in front of him, Martyn began to read the Word of God for himself and became more and more convinced of the truth of Jesus Christ and the ability of the gospel to heal the wounds of his patients that could not be cured with medicine. Martyn began to seriously pursue the idea of becoming a gospel minister. In 1927, Martyn married Bethel Phillips and the two moved to Aberavon where Martyn became the pastor of a small parish. Martyn's clear message of God's justice and love was too much for some of the congregation and many left. Slowly, however, the church began to grow with new working-class people who accepted the message of Christ and found radical transformation.

In the late 1930s G. Campbell Morgan, Minister of Westminster Chapel, heard Martyn preach and desired Martyn to take his place in the pulpit upon his retirement. In 1939, Martyn and his family made a commitment to serve the Westminster Chapel and made their home in London. Martyn's expository preaching was designed to allow the Word of God meet the hearer undiluted and in the power of the Spirit. At the Westminster Chapel, Martyn saw many led to the Lord and a widely diverse congregation began to emerge. After thirty years of ministry at Westminster, Martyn retired from the pulpit and committed himself to training other pastors and to writing. In 1981, Martyn fell sick and, convinced that his earthly work was completed, told his family, 'Don't pray for healing, don't try to hold me back from the glory,' and on March 1, Martyn went to be with the Savior he had lived so faithfully for.
