Edited for Modern Readers, These Wartime Sermons from John Owen Explore God’s Judgment and Sovereignty
Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, missions, 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 project that brings together all of Owen’s original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 18 includes 5 sermons that Owen delivered at a time of civil war, addressing matters such as providence and toleration. Together they outline his vision for a lasting settlement for both church and state. 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 Project: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over a number of years
- Perfect for Churches and Schools: Written for students, pastors, theologians, and those interested in the sermons of John Owen
John Owen (1616–1683) was vice-chancellor of Oxford University and served as adviser and chaplain to Oliver Cromwell. Among the most learned and active of the Puritans in seventeenth-century England, he was accomplished both in doctrine and practical theology.
