Sin and Grace

Works of John Owen #7

by John Owen, William H. Goold (Editor)

Despite his other achievements, Owen is best famed for his writings. These cover the range of doctrinal, ecclesiastical and practical subjects. They are characterized by profundity, thoroughness and, consequently, authority. Andrew Thomson said that Owen 'makes you feel when he has reached the end of his subject, that he has also exhausted it.' Although many of his works were called forth by the particular needs of his own day they all have a uniform quality of timelessness. Owen s works were republished in full in the nineteenth century. Owen is surely the Prince of the Puritans. 'To master his works', says Spurgeon, 'is to be a profound theologian.'

About the author

John Owen was an English theologian and "was without doubt not only the greatest theologian of the English Puritan movement but also one of the greatest European Reformed theologians of his day, and quite possibly possessed the finest theological mind that England ever produced" ("Owen, John", in Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals, p. 494)

Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

As with previous volumes, I am quite pleased to know that not only is John Owen an amazing theologian but he also has a pastor's heart and is able to write and encourage the everyday Christian just as capably as challenging the greatest of scholars. This volume covers the nature of apostasy, spiritual mindedness, and the dominion of sin and grace. Plenty to chew on here! Biblical sound and convicting. Can't wait to get started on Volume 8! Highly recommend.
