Title Details

This fine collection of essays marking more than fifty years of faithful ministry by Robert Oliver draws together contributions from north America (Joel R Beeke, Michael A G Haykin, Tom J Nettles and S Blair Waddell) and Europe (Guy A Davies, Philip H Eveson, Dinu Moga, Iain H Murray, Paul Oliver, Robert Strivens, Geoff Thomas and Jeremy Walker).
Robert Oliver s ministry is marked by faithfulness and humility . . . It has always been his desire to be known as merely a servant of the Lord. In his ministerial career he was both a pastor and elder for over fifty years. And in addition to this, he devoted the final 26 years of his life s work to the training and the teaching of shepherds in the service of the Lord s work. These men would be used of God in stations all over the world. While he taught Church History at the London Theological Seminary, he has always remained a student of the subject. It should come as no surprise that in Robert s magnum opus, History of the English Calvinistic Baptists, 1771 1892, each historical figure studied is a pastor. He has always looked for examples of godly pastors that preceded him. Now after a lifetime of faithful service in teaching and ministry this book is meant to be a tribute to his career.
