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]

I was a bit reluctant to start reading the 16 volume Works of John Owen after reading the first two volumes of his commentary on the book of Hebrews, as I found them to be challenging and quit a labor to work through. However, now that I have finished Volume One of his works, I am delighted to say that I found this book to be a joy to read. Owen is a pastor, and has made sure that he fulfills his calling as an under shepherd feeding the flock. Volume 1: The Glory of Christ is a wonderful exposition of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all His fulness. Detailed and scriptural, it will not disappoint! The Catechisms at the end of the book are pure gold! I can wait to dive in to Volume 2!

What a blessing to be brought to the glories of Christ and to see the heart of one so influential care so greatly for his people by putting together a shorter and greater catechism that his people might learn of Christ. Owen is wordy, but wonderful nonetheless and worth time it takes to make it through this volume.

Also this book is 494 pages long not 272. Maybe goodreads could correct this that others might not be surprised by the length of Owen's work in volume 1.
