The
Puritan John Owen (1616-83) was one of the greatest of English
theologians. In an age of giants, he overtopped them all. C.H.
Spurgeon called him the prince of divines. He is hardly known today,
and we are the poorer for our ignorance. Furnished with the recognized
resources of humane learning in uncommon measure, he put them all, as
a well-ordered array of handmaids, at the service of theology, which
he served himself. His theology was polemical, practical, and what is
called casuistical, and it cannot be said that any one of these was
peculiarly his rather than another.
Book Description: Owen is best known for
the depth of his writings. These cover the range of doctrinal,
ecclesiastical and practical subjects. The sixteen volumes of
his works represent some of the best Christian scholarship ever
produced in English.
Book Description: A classic
argument for "particular redemption" which has never been
refuted! This polemical work is designed to show, among other
things, that the doctrine of universal redemption is
unscriptural and destructive of the gospel.
Book Description: J.I. Packer, in
his spiritual journey, regards this book as Owen's most
important. This is a topic deserted by modern authors, and yet
it is one we all need to address every day. It is a classic
treatise on the effect and remedy of sin.
Book Description: A seven volume
set in which the master Puritan theologian analyses the text of
Hebrews with care and provides a judicious interpretation which
shows an impressive familiarity with a wide range of biblical
scholarship.
Book Description: John Owen believed that that
communion with God lies at the heart of the Christian life. With
Paul he recognized that through the Son we have access by the
Spirit to the Father.
