One of three volumes of Lloyd-Jones's Great Doctrines of the Bible, published by Crossway (in Britain as Great Doctrines by Hodder) and issued in one volume in 2003. The chapters are lectures on Christian doctrine given at the Friday evening meetings at Westminster Chapel between 1952 and 1955, before he began his series on Romans, and were edited for publication after his death. This third volume treats the doctrine of the church, its nature, government and sacraments, and then the last things: death, the return of Christ, the millennium, the final judgment and the eternal state.
