Packer menunjukkan kesalahan kedua sikap tersebut. Alih-alih menjadi penghala…
Outline : “The Puritans can help us today toward the maturity that they knew, and that we need.” —J. I. Packer

In this accessible little book, noted theologians discuss God’s sovereignt…
Outline: Whatever Happened to Holiness? "There was a time," writes J. I. Packer in Rediscovering Holiness, "when all Christians laid great emphasis on God's call to holiness.
