J.I. Packer

His books have sold over three million copies worldwide and Christianity Today readers named him one of the most influential theological writers of the twentieth century, second only to C. S. Lewis. Now J. I. Packer's life and ministry are examined by another leading evangelical theologian, Alister McGrath. In the first biography of Packer ever written, McGrath traces the life of this central figure from his early years through his teaching career in England to his move to North America and Regent College. The author describes the significant people, writings, events, and controversies of Packer's life, and considers the lasting influence Packer will have on evangelicalism.
