It was a return to a more doctrinal Christianity, prompted in part by a rediscovery of the Reformers and Puritans and by the contemporary witness of such men as D.M. Lloyd-Jones and J.I. Packer. Amid this change, a little magazine, first published in Oxford in 1955, worked as a catalyst and became by 1958 as publishing house reaching some forty nations.<\/p>\n<p>Blemishes and weaknesses the magazine certainly had, but the call for God-centred Christianity, and for a gospel certain that all is of grace, was widely received.<\/p>\n<p>Without editing, the issues from September 1955 to August 1959 are here reprinted. This volume is not so much an historical document as a challenge for a reformation and revival that is no less urgent today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"table-of-contents\" id=\"toc\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Introduction by Iain H.
