Book Description
The very concept of ‘truth’ has been questioned in recent times. Is the notion of ‘your truth’ valid, or is there such a thing as the truth—an ultimate truth that is the same for every person in every place?
Is it up to individuals to decide what is true for them, or is there a higher authority that defines truth? Are all religious or philosophical insights valid, or is there a final authority in matters of belief?
These are questions which Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses under the theme of authority—the authority of Jesus Christ; the authority of the Scriptures; and the authority of the Holy Spirit.
First published in 1958, Authority remains a foundational biblical treatment of an enduringly important theme.

Phillip Brokenshire –
Lloyd Jones is correct that ‘authority is one of the most important problems confronting us.’ This is possibly even more relevant today. We need to understand the authority of Jesus, the scriptures and the Holy Spirit anew. This mighty little book is much needed today.
Robert Norman –
Good and important book
Matthew –
Overall this is a very good book. The various aspects of authority that Doctor Jones deals with are thoughtful and well articulated. Doctor Jones elaborates upon the importance of the authority that the Scriptures, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit has over the Church and the lives of Christians. However, since these were originally addresses that Doctor Jones gave in 1958 in Canada, some of the specific problems of the day he is addressing may not necessarily be directly relatable to every possible reader out there today; but the message and focus of this book as a whole is certainly timeless. Those who are already familiar with Martyn Lloyd Jones and/or are regular Banner of Truth customers will definitely enjoy it and should add it to their libraries.
