The Theology of the Christian Life in J. I. Packer’s Thought

This study offers a critical analysis of J. I. Packer’s theology of the Christian life. Packer has achieved international acclaim and wielded widespread influence within evangelicalism for more than three decades, particularly through his writings on the doctrine of sanctification. This study pursues a nuanced understanding of Packer’s theology of sanctification by tracing the development of his thought, showing how he reflects a particular version of Reformed theology, and examining the unique influence of theological anthropology and theological method on this area of his theology.

Praise for the Print Edition

Dr. Payne has given us a thorough, sympathetic, yet perceptive assessment of the theological underpinnings of James Packer’s widespread influence on evangelical piety.
—T. A. Noble, Professor of Theology, Nazarene Theological Seminary, Kansas City

Given the scope and influence of Packer’s theology, it is high time for a serious, critical engagement with his thought. This book does that job with admirable fairness, clarity, and perception.
—Murray Rae, Senior Lecturer in Theology and Ethics, University of Otago, Dunedin

Dr. Payne contends that Packer’s writings reveal an unresolved tension between his rationalism and his experimentalism. This graciously-argued case merits careful scrutiny, and raises important questions regarding theological method.
—Alan P. F. Sell, Visiting Professor, Acadia University College of Divinity
