In Christ Jesus

A.J. Gordon (1836-1895) came to prominence in the United States as the pastor of Clarendon Street Baptist Church in Boston for over 25 years. Under Gordon's leadership this church was described as "one of the most spiritual and aggressive in America". He became a favourite speaker in Dwight L. Moody's Northfield conventions and was a close friend of other famous evangelicals like A. B. Simpson, A.T. Pierson and R.A. Torrey.

He was a prolific writer but is most remembered for this book, The Ministry of Healing, which has been a much loved text book on the subject for more than a century.
