5.0 out of 5 starsTHE Book on Particular Redemption!
By Sean McDonald on July 9, 2001
Format: Paperback
The day that this book is refuted is the day that the TULIP shrivels up and dies--the day that God's free grace in salvation is shown to be a farce.
But Owen's thesis, that Christ did, in fact, save His people from their sins (Matt. 1:21), is nothing less than pure, undiluted Gospel-truth, and shall remain so as long as God Himself is Truth.
There is no work written by any Calvinist throughout the ages that can begin to compare with Owen's treatment of the death of Christ, and His procurement of eternal redemption thereby. And there is no work written by any Arminian throughout the ages that can begin to answer Owen's book. To do this, it would be necessary to show that the Scriptures present Christ's death as obtaining a mere possibility of redemption, instead of having actually obtained eternal redemption (Heb. 9:12), an absolute impossibility.
Owen's argumentation and exegesis are simply outstanding. Before reading this book, I had actually never read an exegesis of John 3:16. He spends ten pages of a detailed, Puritan examination of that passage alone. He also examines virtually every text cited by the Arminians in this controversy, coming to the same inescapable conclusion every time: "No Universalism Here."
J.I. Packer's "Introductory Essay" is not to be missed, either: It's already considered by many to be a classic, a "masterpiece in miniature."
But the "Essay" is undoubtedly the easiest reading in this volume. Owen was a 17th century Puritan, and can be difficult reading. It's definitely not a book to give your non-theologically-minded Arminian friends to convince them of Particular Redemption. But for an in-depth study of the doctrine, this book cannot be missed.

5.0 out of 5 starsSorry, friends ... this book has still not been refuted!
By John Botkin on February 27, 2003
Format: Paperback
This is Puritan John Owen's classic work on the doctrine of the atonement, which seeks to answer the question: for whom did Christ die? Owen was, and is still considered to be one of - if not THE - best English theologian who ever lived. This book demonstrates why he deserves such a distinction. It is one of the finest outworkings of the theological shift brought about by the Protestant Reformation, which is summarized by the latin phrase, soli Deo gloria. Thus, for Owen, the atonement was not just to make possible salvation for sinners. Rather, it was the securement of salvation for God's people, and it was accomplished and applied all for the glory of God alone (soli Deo gloria).
Despite the claims of others, this book as in all reality remained unrefuted since it was written. Many have tried, and many have been declared triumphant. However, those books pale in comparrison to Owen's work. Why? Because they all fail to do address him on the level of the biblical text. In other words, they have no exegesis! It is amazing that many will argue that Calvinists argue the system to defend their beliefs. However, virtually all of those who seek to refute Owen do not engage in strong exegesis, but argue in broad terms, from the vantage point of their own systems. Talk about calling the kettle black! Perhaps the worst of these so-called responses are Dave Hunts's book, "What Love is This?" and Norman Geisler's, "Chosen But Free." Both are filled with historical inaccuracies, misquotations, and worst of all very little exegesis. Regardless of our positions in this "in-house" debate, we must above all be biblical in our arguments, and, unfortunately, that seems to be missing from those arguing on the other side.
Lest, I appear to make unfair assertions that are unsupported, check out James White's "The Potter's Freedom" for a truly devastating critque of "Chosen But Free."

5.0 out of 5 starsChrist�s Purposeful Death
By William E. Turner Jr. on April 11, 2004
Format: Paperback
John Owen's work, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, is the classic text defending the purposeful and actual procurement of salvation for sinners in the death of Christ. While characteristically portrayed as a polemical work on the Calvinistic understanding of limited atonement this work is actually much more. In brief, it is a defense for the perfect work of Christ, which actually obtained salvation on the cross. It argues that the purpose of the triune God is to glorify himself and to save sinners.
Owen's thesis asserts that in the death of Christ salvation of sinners was actually accomplished. Christ came to the earth to seek and to save those who were lost. Through his oblation, being the entire humiliation of his life and death, he has secured perfectly the redemption of those for whom he died. Therefore the salvation of sinners was completely secured through the death of Christ. This stands in direct contrast to the Arminian and Amyraldian understanding of a universal redemption, which makes salvation only possible or hypothetical.

Owen divides his work into four books. The first book sets forth his thesis that the work of Christ on the cross was made for the full and complete salvation of those whom God intended to save. The work of salvation is a work of the triune God. God the Father stands as the author of salvation and the sender of Christ. He is the one who from before creation elects and chooses some to be saved. Christ is the sent one that became incarnate and offered himself up for death, was resurrected and intercedes in heaven for those whom he died. The Spirit was the helper to Christ in his earthly ministry and is the applier of salvation.Read more ›
