It was written, he tells us, for the exercise of his own mind when weakness, weariness and the near approaches of death were calling him away from this earth.

[Publisher's Preface] The Puritan era in seventeenth-century England was distinguished pre-eminently by the rich school of evangelical authors whose writings have had such a powerful influence wherever they have been read.  When the high priest under the law was about to enter the holy place on the day of atonement, he took in his hands sweet incense from the golden table of incense. | |

Wow. Owen maybe doesn't have the emotional resonance of Samuel Rutherford or isn't as pithily quotable as Richard Sibbes (both of whom I adore), but he illuminates the role of Christian teaching in our daily walk more beautifully than anyone I've read. Particularly the importance of a right understanding of the person of Christ, and how meditating on those glories fuels our spiritual life.
This (abridged) work is especially good on Christ's two natures, the union of Christ with the church and with individual believers, Christ's ultimate restoration of all things, and the differences between faith and eventual heavenly sight (SO helpful). Sprinkled throughout are little exhortations and practical helps. It's challenging and comforting in equal measure.
I really, really recommend this readable little volume. Savor it. (
