Anyone familiar with John Owen will recognize that he is without a doubt the titan of the Puritans. This seventeenth British theologian was a prolific author who always directed his attention Godward.

The Complete Works of John Owen, volume 19 is the most recent edition from Crossway Books. This elegant work is packed with sermons from the Commonwealth and Protectorate (1650 – 1659). Owen is a man of his times. His writing may be cumbersome for the contemporary reader. He writes at a level that most American readers are not accustomed to. Yet, his arguments are worth tracing out and studying.

Volume 19 contains nine sermons that focus on themes concerning providence, the advance of the kingdom, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the glory of God. Readers will be captivated by Owen’s knowledge of Scripture and love for the Savior.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
