La Vie Par Sa Mort

Rate this book
Il y a certains indices de nos jours montrant une resurgence de l'interet pour la theologie de la Bible: un nouvel empressement a l'epreuve des traditions, a scruter les Ecritures... C'est a ceux qui partagent cet empressement que ce traite d'Owen est offert, avec la conviction qu'il nous aidera dans l'une des taches les plus urgentes qui incombent au monde chretien evangelique aujourd'hui - le recouvrement de l'Evangile. J. I. Packer La vie par sa mort (The Death of Death in the Death of Christ) a ete publie en 1647. Il semble que personne n'ait reussi a refuter la these soutenue par Owen, qu'il defend brillamment en s'appuyant sur les Ecritures. John Owen, ne en 1616, est l'un des plus eminents theologiens de l'histoire de l'Angleterre. A l'age de 12 ans, il entre a l'Universite d'Oxford d'ou il obtient un baccalaureat en 1632 et une maitrise en 1635. Durant quelques annees, il occupe la fonction d'aumonier personnel d'Oliver Cromwell, ce qui l'amene a precher au Parlement a plusieurs reprises. Il exercera egalement le ministere pastoral dans trois eglises au cours de sa vie. On peut encore voir sa tombe au cimetiere de Bunhill Fields, a Londres.

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)

My first book by John Owen. Straight to the point. The importance of the substitutionary atonement and death of Christ.

Straight to the point, a little repetitive, but overall enjoyed reading it. An easy to read book on limited atonement.

Great!

This gets me excited to read the original work, but as this is just a summary of Owen's arguments in the death of death, it does a fine job getting those across, and there are a lot.

Helpful on understanding a very high-Calvinistic view of the atonement. While many arguments are intriguing, the heavy reliance upon logic over a engagement with Biblical text turned me off.

Dans ce traité John Owen défend avec passion sa thèse. Souvent très pertinent, soulevant de véritables interrogations, parfois emporté par son zèle se contentant de répéter une phrase massue.
