J.I. Packer is one of my spiritual heroes. His book, Knowing God, is considered one the most influential evangelical books of the past century.

Dr. Packer has also been a firm defender of traditional Christianity in the midst of the shifting tides of religion in the 21st century. His disagreement with the Anglican Church of Canada’s redefinitions of human sexuality led to events in which he, a world-class scholar already in his 80’s, was suspended and threatened by the denomination to have his ministerial credentials revoked.

I admire Dr. Packer for the consistency of his witness and the unfading passion he has for the church today. I am most grateful for his endorsement of Holy Subversion:

“How should God’s American people put the lordship of Jesus Christ on display in their lives? Trevin Wax’s searching answer is biblical, basic, businesslike and blunt.”
