An Introduction to John Owen

History & Biography

“John Owen is one of the most remarkable figures to emerge out of seventeenth-century England. His writings span a wide range of topics, from Trinitarian theology and religious toleration to educational reform and personal piety. While recent scholarship has helped us reevaluate Owen in significant ways, a one-dimensional portrait of the Puritan often emerges, whether as a timeless theologian or as an outdated historical figure. Crawford Gribben’s book excels at situating Owen’s theology in the times in which he wrote. The result is not only a stimulating exercise in biographical theology but also a compelling vision of the Christian life. For those wanting to get to know Owen the man as well as Owen the theologian, this book is the best place to start.”

Sermons from the Early Restoration Years (1669–1675)

Theology

“John Owen is widely recognized as one of the most significant theologians since the Reformation. We have long needed a modern edition of Owen’s works that faithfully presents the original texts of his writings in a user-friendly format. This edition of Owen’s works has done just that and much more. The Complete Works of John Owen is well placed to become the new standard resource for anyone wanting to read Owen.”
