There is a crisis of authority in society today. All inherited authority is considered suspect, and governmental authority is increasingly being challenged. The result is a disorderly and dehumanized society.

One source of confusion lies in the church itself. The authority of the Bible has been called into question and commonly today the church is left without any sense of divine authority.

Dr Lloyd-Jones discusses the only road to recovery. We must reassert the divine authority of Jesus Christ, of his Word and of his Spirit; or face 'the blackness of darkness forever.'

First published by InterVasity Press (IVP), this book deals with a subject of enduring importance.

It does so through the substance of three addresses given by Dr Lloyd-Jones at a Conference of the General Committee of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, held at Glen Orchard, Ontario in September 1957 (94 pages).
