Owen, John, The Complete Works of John Owen, 16 volumes (Carlisle, PA: The Banner of Truth Trust). 31042 "To master his works is to be a profound theologian." -- C.H. Spurgeon "The Banner of Truth Trust completed in May, 1968, the re-issue of the complete English works of Owen, his seven volumes on the Epistle of Hebrews excepted. All of these volumes `are of the greatest value' (Dr. Lloyd-Jones) but for newcomers to Owen we especially recommend the four volumes in the Practical Division (vols. 6-9.) . . ." -- William J. Grier "Owen lived 1616-1683. Some say that he was the greatest English theologian of all time." -- GCB "His works on communion, Christian life, and the person and glory of Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, etc. are of the utmost value to any serious-minded Christian." -- Jay P. Green, Sr. John Owen is an example of a great theologian who prescribed to independency, and was unable to attain to covenanted reformation. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Excerpt from book: venture to suggest whether, at some future period of increased spirituality and external danger, they may not form the basis of a stable and honourable union among the two great evangelical sections of modern Nonconformists. But besides the outward dangers to Protestantism, which made Owen so eager for union among its friends, we discover another and more interesting explanation still in the increased occupation of his mind with the great central truths of the Gospel, and his growing delight in them. The minor distinctions among Christians come to be seen by us in their modified proportions, when we have taken our place within the inner circle of those great truths which constitute the peculiar glory and power of Christianity; and this inner and more radiant circle formed more and more the home of Dr Owen's heart. This is evident from the three great doctrinal and devotional works which were produced by him at this period, and which we have yet to nama First, there appeared his piarooyla, or Declaration of the Glorious Mystery of the Person of Christ, God and man, with the infinite wisdom, love, and power of God in the constitution thereof. As also, of the grounds and reasons of his incarnation; the nature of his ministry in heaven; the present state of the church above thereon; and the use of his person in religion, etc. The root from which the whole discourse springs, is the memorable declaration of our Lord to Peter, Matt. xvi. 18, And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it: ?a declaration in which Owen finds three great truths, whose illustration forms the substance of the volume;? that the person of Christ is the foundation of his church; that opposition will be made ...

Communion With God (volume II) - This is an outstanding volume and tremendously practical. Those long for closer more intimate communion with God would benefit from a careful read of the second volume in Owen's series.
The Holy Spirit (volume III) - Thorough as always and perhaps the best work on the Holy Spirit ever published. The section on sanctification is particularly outstanding.
Temptation and Sin (volume VI) - This one humbled me to the dust, but it also raised me to new heights in Christ. Praise be to God. A wonderful wonderful book. ( )
