John Owen
Author: Carl R. Trueman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
John Owen is considered one of the sharpest theological minds of the seventeenth century and a significant theologian in his own right, particularly in terms of his contributions to pneumatology, christology, and ecclesiology. Carl Trueman presents a major study of the key elements of John Owen's writings and his theology. Presenting his theology in its historical context, Trueman explores the significance of Owen's work in ongoing debates on seventeenth century theology, and examines the contexts within which Owen's theology was formulated and the shape of his mind in relation to the intellectual culture of his day - particularly in contemporary philosophy, literature and theology. Examining Owen's theology from pneumatological, political and eschatological perspectives, Trueman highlights the trinitarian structure of his theology and how his theological work informed his understanding of practical Christianity. With the current resurgence of interest in seventeenth century Reformed theology amongst intellectual historians, and the burgeoning research in systematic theology, this book presents an invaluable study of a leading mind in the Reformation and the historical underpinnings for new systematic theology.

John Owen and English Puritanism
Author: Crawford Gribben
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190613882
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
John Owen was a leading theologian in seventeenth-century England. Closely associated with the regicide and revolution, he befriended Oliver Cromwell, was appointed vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, and became the premier religious statesman of the Interregnum. The restoration of the monarchy pushed Owen into dissent, criminalizing his religious practice and inspiring his writings in defense of high Calvinism and religious toleration. Owen transcended his many experiences of defeat, and his claims to quietism were frequently undermined by rumors of his involvement in anti-government conspiracies. Crawford Gribben's biography documents Owen's importance as a controversial and adaptable theologian deeply involved with his social, political, and religious environments. Fiercely intellectual and extraordinarily learned, Owen wrote millions of words in works of theology and exegesis. Far from personifying the Reformed tradition, however, Owen helped to undermine it, offering an individualist account of Christian faith that downplayed the significance of the church and means of grace. In doing so, Owen's work contributed to the formation of the new religious movement known as evangelicalism, where his influence can still be seen today.

The Trinitarian Devotion of John Owen
Author: Sinclair B Ferguson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781642895667
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Serving Christ and His church as a pastor, theologian, and military chaplain, John Owen lived through one of the most tumultuous periods in England's history. His own life was marked by turbulent changes as his position rose and fell according to the tides of English politics. One day he was preaching before Parliament; the next he was fortunate just to escape with his life. But through it all, Owen remained steadfast in his faith in the triune God of the Bible. In The Trinitarian Devotion of John Owen, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson explores the life and thought of this remarkable preacher and theologian, with a focus on Owen's Trinitarian theology. Far from being a minute point of doctrine, God's triune majesty was central to Owen's Christian life and devotion. This book presents Owen's theology of the Trinity as a door through which Christians today can find incredible blessing. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.

God’s Statesman
Author: Peter Toon
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725239590
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
That the man who has been called "the greatest British theologian of all time" should have no adequately researched biography of his life and times would be incredible if it were not a fact. But as Dr. Toon, an able historian who specializes in the Puritan era, shows in this book, John Owen was even more than just a great theologian. He exercised a profound influence on youth as Dean of Christ Church, and Vice Chancellor in the University of Oxford; he was also a statesman of no mean order, whose wisdom often prevented excesses into which his contemporaries would have fallen in their untampered zeal; but above all, he was a spiritual shepherd with a true pastor's heart who delighted in nothing so much as to feed the flock of God. Dr. Toon, who has been engaged for over four years on almost continuous research, has produced a volume full of new information as well as an assessment of the tremendous influence of this outstanding leader. The current worldwide interest in the Puritan period underlines the timeliness and importance of this new work. John Owen achieved national recognition when at the comparatively early age of thirty he preached before the House of Commons at St. Margaret's, Westminster. Yet his achievements would eventually be recorded in higher archives than any mere earthly ones, for he was to become a revered and redoubtable servant of the King of kings. Like many other renowned servants of God, John Owen cared little for personal aggrandizement and by his own command not one of his diaries has been preserved; and since the extant letters in which he lays bare his soul are very few, his biographer is hard put to find those personal touches which have helped to establish biography as an important part of English literature. Nevertheless this carefully researched study has been produced to help meet the need for a fuller life of this remarkable man.

Thinking Spiritually

Pages : 95
Book Description
John Owen (1616-1683) is one of the most prominent theologians England has ever had. The Grace and Duty of being Spiritually Minded was published in 1681, after illness had caused Owen to spend time meditating upon the importance of spirituality. Of all the evils which I have seen in the days of my pilgrimage, he wrote, there is none as grievous as the public contempt of the principal mysteries of the Gospel among them that are called Christians. Here is an abridgement of Owens volume, in easier English.
