<p>The ministry of John Angell James, favoured though it was, marked the end of an era at Carrs Lane Congregational Church. When it came to ministerial handover, we observe a weakness of judgement in James which made room for a less than orthodox ministry at the church. The upshot was that sadly James's ministry legacy was not extended and built on with gospel vision by his successor, R. W. Dale.</p> <p>From noting this sad turn of events, we remind ourselves of the crucial nature of truth in a victorious Christian pilgrimage with a reading from Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. </p> <p> </p> <p>Featured Content:</p> <p>– 'John Angell James', Peter Seccombe, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 220 (January 1982). </p> <p>- Excerpts concerning Mr Valiant-for-truth from 'Part the Second' of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress (Banner of Truth ed., 1977, current ed., 2017), pages 348–350 and 373.</p> <p> </p> <p>Buy The Pilgrim's Progress: <a href='https://banneroftruth.org/store/christian-living/pilgrims-progress/'>https://banneroftruth.org/store/christian-living/pilgrims-progress/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Explore the work of the Banner: <a href='http://www.banneroftruth.org'>www.banneroftruth.org</a></p> <p>Subscribe to the magazine (print/digital/both): <a href='http://www.banneroftruth.org/magazine'>www.banneroftruth.org/magazine</a></p> <p>Leave us a voice message: <a href='http://www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast'>www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast</a></p>

<p>Pastor, author, and missionary motivator, John Angell James (1785–1859) was one of the most gifted and respected of Independent church ministers in 19th-century Britain. From humble beginnings as a draper's son in Dorset, he went on to become minister of Carr's Lane Congregational Church in Birmingham. His ministry there was greatly blessed, as were his literary labours, with over 3 million copies of his works being published within his lifetime.</p> <p>Angell James's ministry was marked by earnestness, a note sounded in the title and text of his book on ministry, 'An Earnest Ministry: The Want of the Times'. In this week's episode we look at the life of this outstanding servant of God, and consider his abiding interest in the work of gospel advance in China.</p> <p> </p> <p>Featured Content:</p> <p>– 'John Angell James', Peter Seccombe, Banner of Truth Magazine, appearing in two parts in Issues 219 and 220 (December 1981 and January 1982, respectively). </p> <p>– 'John Angell James', Alec Taylor, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 619 (April 2015). </p> <p>– 'God's Voice from China', John Angell James, reproduced in the Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 166 (July/August 1977).</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Explore the work of the Banner: <a href='http://www.banneroftruth.org'>www.banneroftruth.org</a></p> <p>Subscribe to the magazine (print/digital/both): <a href='http://www.banneroftruth.org/magazine'>www.banneroftruth.org/magazine</a></p> <p>Leave us a voice message: <a href='http://www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast'>www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast</a></p> <p> </p>

<p>Francis Turretin of Geneva, if he is known at all, is often thought of as a Protestant 'scholastic', where this is shorthand for an ivory tower theologian given to excessive hair-splitting. Such a caricature, however, does not do justice to the man himself. An earnest preacher, and a devoted disciple, Turretin placed his scholarship at the service of the church. While he was a thorough and careful theologian, Turretin sought to go only as far, and no further, than the Scripture warranted, and to do his theology in a spirit of charity.</p> <p>This week's episode introduces us to Turretin the man and theologian, and to Volume 1 of his Institutes of Elenctic Theology, which has been published by Presbyterian and Reformed Publishers since 1992.</p> <p> </p> <p>Featured Content:</p> <p>– 'Shapers of Christianity: Francis Turretin (1623–87)', Nick Needham, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 716, May 2023. </p> <p>– 'Francis Turretin's Institutes in English', Robert Sheehan, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 368, May 1994. </p> <p> </p> <p>Resources Mentioned:</p> <p>- The Institutes of Elenctic Theology, Francis Turretin (1992–1997, Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing)</p> <p>Volume 1 (surveyed above): https://www.prpbooks.com/book/institutes-of-elenctic-theology</p> <p>Three-volume set: https://www.prpbooks.com/book/institutes-of-elenctic-theology-3-vol-set</p> <p> </p> <p>Explore the work of the Banner: <a href='http://www.banneroftruth.org'>www.banneroftruth.org</a></p> <p>Subscribe to the magazine (print/digital/both): <a href='http://www.banneroftruth.org/magazine'>www.banneroftruth.org/magazine</a></p> <p>Leave us a voice message: <a href='http://www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast'>www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast</a></p> <p> </p>
