An evening conversation with JI Packer: An interview with Mark Dever 24/07/2020
Following JI Packer’s recent death, I have listened to a number of interviews with him from years past. This one with Mark Dever, from Capital Hill Baptist, is over twenty years old. Dever and Packer cover a range of topics, and you may find you don’t agree with all that Packer says, but he gets you to think about why you believe what you do. God was so very kind in giving us Packer, and it’s such a blessing that he wrote so much, and that we have so many talks by him and interviews with him available that we can learn from.
