Description

This sweeping collection of essays covers everything from Owen's eschatology to his relationship with scripture as well as his own personal defeats. Gribben untangles the intricate threads of a complicated and intellectual life to reveal a figure who still holds a deep relevance to the modern world.

This work does not simply explore Owen's theological ideas in isolation, but is keenly aware of the context in which they developed. This allows readers to understand the thought of this important theologian with more depth. With an exemplary focus on historiography and a keen eye for Owen's evangelical legacy, this book makes compelling reading for anyone interested in late seventeenth century Dissenting Theology.
