What happened in 1966 between Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John Stott, and why does it still matter?

In this short introduction, I look at one of the most important clashes in modern British evangelical history. A moment that was about more than two men, because underneath it sat a deeper argument about the church, cooperation, Anglican identity, evangelical unity, and whether reform from within had reached its limit.

This was not just a disagreement of personality. It was a real theological and ecclesial fault line, and its effects ran on for years.

So this is a short introduction to the 1966 Lloyd-Jones and Stott clash, what happened, and why it mattered.
