Excellent work
I’m only on the first volume The Glory of Christ and I’m truly enjoying it. Great work on Christology. It’s not modern day English but you will get use to it. I highly recommend it.
Description
Despite his other achievements, Owen is best famed for his writings. These cover the range of doctrinal, ecclesiastical and practical subjects. They are characterized by profundity, thoroughness and, consequently, authority. Andrew Thomson said that Owen ‘makes you feel when he has reached the end of his subject, that he has also exhausted it.’ Although many of his works were called forth by the particular needs of his own day they all have a uniform quality of timelessness. Owen’s works were republished in full in the nineteenth century. Owen is surely the Prince of the Puritans. ‘To master his works’, says Spurgeon, ‘is to be a profound theologian.’
Dr. D. M. Lloyd-Jones wrote: ‘It is almost presumption to recommend any work by Dr. John Owen. All his works are of the greatest value and profit…’

Endorsements
"To read John Owen is to enter a rare world. Whenever I return to one of his works I find myself asking “Why do I spend time reading lesser literature?” . . . If we can persevere with his style (which becomes easier the longer we persevere), he will not fail to bring us to the feet of Jesus."
—Sinclair B. Ferguson
"I owe more to John Owen than to any other theologian, ancient or modern; and I owe more to The Mortification of Sin than to anything else he wrote."
—J. I. Packer
