Timothy George attempts to interpret the great 'theologizer.'

When historians look back on the life of J. I. Packer, this volume may serve as a useful starting point.

Their conclusion: the Anglican scholar should be seen fundamentally as a "theologizer," a "latter-day catechist," a Reformed prophet standing in the tradition of Irenaeus, Augustine, Calvin, Baxter, and Owen.
