This question is the title of chapter sixteen in the book Knowing the Times - Addresses Delivered on Various Occasions 1942 - 1977 by D. M. Lloyd-Jones. [Banner of Truth, 1989]. The chapter records a series of three addresses given at the IFES Conference at Schloss Mittersill, Austria, in 1971. There is much in this book, especially in this chapter, with which I am in whole-hearted agreement. I commend it to you for your thoughtful study.
Here are the section headings:
I
THE CONSTANT NECESSITY FOR DEFINITION
