Another Birthday for Packer

[bookslover]

J. I. Packer, author of numerous thoughtful and insightful books on Christianity, is 88 years old today (born July 22, 1926). I hope he's enjoying his day today and thank God for his many works.

Amen!

Likewise.

It was 40 years ago that I first read Fundamentalism and the Word of God.

 

[Philip]

I hope to be serving the church full-time at 88

Technically, Dr. Packer is retired from Regent but he still gives the occasional lecture or course as he did at this year's summer school.

It was 40 years ago that I first read Fundamentalism and the Word of God.

His first (published in 1958) and still one of his best books.

He has been a gift to Christ's Church and I pray God's richest blessing are upon him.
