20세기 최고의 강해 설교자이자 탁월한 복음주의 지도자 중 하나인 마틴 로이드 존스의 '시편' 51편 강해서. 위대한 참회시, '시편' 51편을 강해한 책으로, 저자가 1949년 10월 웨스트민스터 채플의 주일 저녁 강단에서 4주에 걸쳐 설교한 내용을 담고 있다.
'시편' 51편에는 시대를 초월하여 참된 기독교적 체험의 바탕이라고 할 수 있는 회개의 본질적 내용이 명확하게 들어 있다. 이 책은 그러한 '시편' 51편을 강해함으로써, 그리스도가 복음으로 우리를 구원하기 위해 준비해둔 해결책을 충격적으로 묘사한다.
그리고 하나님과 우리의 관계를 되돌아보게 하고, 하나님을 만나기까지 처쳐야 할 일정한 단계와 과정을 가르쳐줌으로써, 하나님을 만나는 비결을 제시하고 있다. 저자는 회개하지 않은 그리스도인은 없다고 주장하면서, 그리스도인답게 회개할 것을 권한다.

Martyn-Lloyd Jones (1899 - 1981)
Lloyd-Jones was well known for his style of expository preaching, and the Sunday morning and evening meetings at which he officiated drew crowds of several thousand, as did the Friday evening Bible studies, which were, in effect, sermons in the same style. He would take many months, even years, to expound a chapter of the Bible verse by verse. His sermons would often be around fifty minutes to an hour in length, attracting many students from universities and colleges in London. His sermons were also transcribed and printed (virtually verbatim) in the weekly Westminster Record, which was read avidly by those who enjoyed his preaching. The MLJ Trust now archives all his audio messages preached over the years, a staggering 1600 sermons.Lloyd-Jones retired from his ministry at Westminster Chapel in 1968, following a major operation. For the rest of his life, he concentrated on editing his sermons to be published, counselling other ministers, answering letters and attending conferences. Perhaps his most famous publication is a 14 volume series of commentaries on the Epistle to the Romans, the first volume of which was published in 1970.
This man of God was born in Wales and at the age of 13 moved to London in 1914. It was here that he as trained for a medical career and was associated with the famous Doctor Thomas Horder. During his medical years he was a much sought after physician and was well respected in his field.
He abandoned his medical career for the Gospel ministry, and served a pastor at the Presbyterian Church at Sandfields from 1927 to 1938. His teachings were respected by many including G. Campbell Morgan. He was offered and accepted the post as associate pastor under Dr. Morgan in 1938.
In 1943 when Dr. Morgan retired he succeeded him as Pastor of Westminster Chapel. His teaching attracted many and his lectures on Friday night where attended by a wide range of the populous. He was loved and admired for his dedication to the scriptures. Her retired in 1968, but was much sought after until his death.
