Lloyd-Jones & F.F. Bruce on Humility

"I want to add just a note about what you said about his humility, and that's just to help drive the men to read this book. You have another wonderful line in there, toward the end of his life when you were interviewing him for the original two-volume biography. You said he talked about his life as if he were an onlooker looking at the life of someone else. Yes, and could I just add on the point of his humility, I'm impressed with Professor F.F. Bruce because Bruce was publicly criticized by Lloyd-Jones for associating with men who were far from evangelical, but it was Bruce who paid a very fine tribute to Lloyd-Jones. The Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, W.R. Matthews, had heard Lloyd-Jones speak and said it was extraordinarily bad, and it was bad for this reason, Matthews was insinuating. The man is so arrogant, and it was Bruce who stood up and said he's not arrogant. His confidence is in the Word of God. He's a most humble man. And coming from Bruce, as a man who had himself been somewhat chastised by Lloyd-Jones, impressive."
