Boice was the senior minister of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia from 1968 until his death in 2000. After his undergraduate studies at Harvard, Boice completed his seminary studies at Princeton Theological Seminary before earning his doctorate at the University of Basel. He actively defended biblical inerrancy through his work on the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy, and he was also a founding member of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
Beyond his local ministry in Philadelphia, Boice was a widely recognized and respected Bible teacher through his commentaries, books, and radio broadcasts. Through his published teachings, he introduced the fundamentals of Reformed theology to many evangelicals.
Dr. Richard Phillips served on the pastoral staff under Boice. Of “Come to the Waters” Phillips wrote, “The preaching of James Montgomery Boice was a primary instigator in the resurgence of Reformed theology in America in the late twentieth century. Those of us who had the privilege to sit under his ministry week after week experienced the life-changing power of Boice’s expository preaching. ‘Come to the Waters’ captures the power of God’s Word as James Boice preached it and brings his ministry to life for readers today.”
