  • J. I. Packer by Alister Mcgrath
    Taken from J. I. Packer by Alister McGrath. Copyright © 2020 by Alister McGrath. Published by InterVarsity Press, Downers Grove, IL. www.ivpress.com Originally published by Hodder Faith as J. I. Packer: His Life and Thought by Alister McGrath. Copyright © 2020 by Alister McGrath. All rights reserved. Published by permission of John Murray Press, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton Limited. 1 The Beginnings of a Journey: From Gloucester to Oxford James Innell Packer was born in the English cathedral city of Gloucester on 22 July 1926, the son of James Percy Packer (died 1972), a clerk at the divisional headquarters of the Great Western Railway, and Dorothy Mary Harris (died 1965), who had trained as a schoolmistress in Bristol. Packer’s sister Margaret was born in 1929 – the year of the Wall Street crash. The effects of this financial crisis on Britain were severe. By the end of 1930, unemployment in Britain had more than doubled from 1 million to 2.5 million. The Packer family, however, managed to cope with this austerity, living modestly in rented accommodation close to the city’s railway station. In September 1933, Packer began to attend the National School in London Road, Gloucester. He did not fit in easily with other boys at this junior school, and within days had become the victim of play- ground bullying. On 19 September, Packer was chased out of the school grounds onto the London Road – one of the busiest traffic thoroughfares in Gloucester. Perhaps the driver of a passing bread van was inattentive, preoccupied with his delivery schedules; more likely, however, he simply did not have time to react when a seven- year-old boy suddenly ran into his path.
