This review is from: John Owen: The Man and His Theology (Paperback)

For those who know little of Owen, this collection of lectures is a good place to begin learning more. It will challenge you to read the writings of Owen himself. The book addresses his life history, as well as his theology, and demonstrates how Owen put his theology into practice.

Arguably Owen is the best orthodox theologian England has ever produced. If you are looking for someone to read who will direct your thoughts to God, then Owen deserves serious consideration, and this book will get you started on that path.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Owen, May 9, 2008

By 

Philip Melanchthon - See all my reviews

This review is from: John Owen: The Man and His Theology (Paperback)

All in all this was a very good book on the puritan pastor-theologian John Owen. The chapters were adapted from papers that were presented on Owen in London. Each of the authors is fluent in the aspect of Owen's life that they are writing about and the different perspectives give the book a fresh feel.

The reason I gave it only four stars is that it is probably suitable as an introduction to Owen and not a full treatment like Marsden's work on Jonathan Edwards. With that said, it is a great resource that touches on many different facets of Owen's life.
