J. I. Packer on Young Christian Leaders
4 comments | Permalink
Mark Driscoll recently asked Dr. J. I. Packer what theological issues young Christian leaders need to study in order to be prepared for the next fifty years. Dr. Packer suggested four areas of study:
- Regeneration
- God-Centered Theology
- Godliness Begins at Home
- Trinity

I just wanted to say thanks for your blog. I've been reading it for, I don't know, over two years now. Great source of information about what's happening. Keep up the good work.

He's dead-on correct about the Holy Trinity. IT seems this Biblical doctrine is under attack like never before.
An interesting contrast is John Wesley's Address to the Clergy. Perhaps this is more targeted than Packer's intended audience, but it is also much more broad and demanding.
Blessings,

It's significant that J.I. Packer, an Anglican, puts regeneration at the top of the list!
It's especially refreshing in light of the fact that many in the Reformed world seem to want to de-emphasize regeneration and make it just one more step in a series of covenant graces.
I heartily agree with Packer!
