Peter Masters

Peter Masters has been the Minister of the Metropolitan Tabernacle (Spurgeon's) in central London since 1970. He commenced the Evangelical Times, the monthly evangelical conservative newspaper. He directs the School of Theology, an annual Christian conference for pastors and Christian workers.

He edits the international magazine 'Sword & Trowel' (started by Spurgeon in 1865).

He initiated the London Reformed Seminary in 1976 and directs the further studies of both pastors and aspiring pastors in the Tabernacle's adjunct seminary. The seminary went online from 2011.

He has authored 28 books, which have been translated into at least 28 other languages. These include Arabic, Amharic, Belarusian, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Hindu, Indonesian, Korean, Lithuanian, Maltese, Nepali, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Shona, Slovak, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.

His sermons have been broadcast in the UK since 2003 on the Sky channel UCB with up to seven airings a week. In 2013 it transferred to the Sky channel Revelation TV, it is aired every Saturday evening at 8pm. These broadcasts include a sermon from Dr Masters and an accompanying apologetic or biographical feature. Current UK channels are Sky Channel 581, Freeview HD Channel 241 and Freesat Channel 692. Programmes are also carried by a number of overseas radio stations including in the USA and New Zealand.

He has repeatedly lobbied for the necessity of distinctive and frequent evangelistic addresses, and lamented the loss of this basic duty amongst evangelical ministers. His own church has a specific evangelistic service at 6.30pm on Sundays.

By calling other ministers to remember and consider the Downgrade Controversy, Peter Masters has advocated a duty of ministerial separation from churches which have defected from basic precepts of historical evangelical doctrine, like the necessity of regeneration, justification by faith without works, or the infallibility and sufficiency of the Bible for church rule. In this he has repeated the call of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, in his controversy with John Stott, to separate from non-evangelical churches, and followed in the tradition of E. J. Poole-Connor, the original founder of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches.
