Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981), by common consent one of the foremost preachers of the 20 th century, led evangelical opinion in the UK in the post-war years. His relationship with the Pentecostal-charismatic movement is a matter of debate since anti-charismatic opinion prefers to see in him purely as a representative of traditional Reformed theology. This article argues that his relationship with experiential Christianity led him to accept a position on the work of the Holy Spirit that was close to that of classical Pentecostalism.
