Welcome back to another episode of Five Minutes in Church History.

We are recording live once again from the Ligonier National Conference.

And again, I have my Welsh friend, Dr. Thomas, with us.

Dr. Thomas, it's good to see you. Good to be here.

And last time we were together, we talked about the Welsh Revivals, 1904, 1905, Evan Roberts, and

the legacy of the Welsh revivals. But there's another contribution of Wales to church history

that I want to talk to you about on this episode.

And that is someone that you met and have heard preach on numerous occasions.

And that is the doctor.

So tell us about the doctor. Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones was a doctor, I mean a medical doctor and a very good medical doctor.

He was in London, in the sort of private sector of medicine and with royalty visiting him and seeking his opinion.

And then as a young man felt the call to ministry and became a preacher, first of all, in Wales.

They were shocked that he would leave Harley Street in London to go to a fairly small Presbyterian church in South Wales.

He was on a trajectory, probably be top of his field, top in his chosen career and makes

this change.

He's regarded as the best preacher of the 20th century by many people, not just Welsh people,

but Ian Murray, for example, has written a two-volume biography.

And I had the pleasure of meeting him.

You know, he moved from Wales, of course, to London and to a congregation just opposite Parliament and the Abbey.

And I had a congregation up until the late 60s or so when he retired,

but he was still traveling in the 70s.

You first heard him in college?
