Description

Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven’t been offered in an easy-to-read collection.

The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume series that brings together all of Owen’s original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 20 includes sermons that he delivered in the wake of a particularly tumultuous period in London that had witnessed plague and the Great Fire. Amid war and concerted attempts to suppress religious dissent, Owen proclaimed the power of the gospel, urging his community to take refuge in the Lord and live faithful lives of godliness. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.

Edited and Formatted for Modern Readers: Presents Owen’s original writing, newly typeset with insightful introductions, outlines, text breaks, headings, and footnotes
Part of The Complete Works of John Owen: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over the next 6 years
Perfect for Churches and Schools: Written for students, pastors, theologians, and those interested in the work of John Owen

Endorsements

“Owen ranks at the top of the classic Reformed writers whose reading of Scripture have most shaped my own faith and practice. He discloses points that I often miss, and he does so in a heart-igniting way that makes truth both enjoyable and edifying. Until now, trudging through the outdated format of Owen’s work has been a daunting task. I am thrilled to see this new edition of his complete works. If you want a faith that is as much for the heart as the mind, then read Owen!”
—Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

“John Owen was a preacher, pastor, and profound theologian who plumbed the depths of Scripture to uncover the riches of the wisdom of our triune God. The republication of his works is a blessing to everyone in the church because we can benefit from his God-glorifying labors. Expertly introduced and annotated, this edition of Owen’s works affords new generations of readers the privilege of profiting from the Prince of Puritans.”
—J. V. Fesko, Harriet Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
