About the author

John Owen was an English theologian and "was without doubt not only the greatest theologian of the English Puritan movement but also one of the greatest European Reformed theologians of his day, and quite possibly possessed the finest theological mind that England ever produced" ("Owen, John", in Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals, p. 494)

Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the most detailed commentaries on any book of the Bible I have ever read. In the words of a friend "Owen is tough sledding". No doubt the simple volume of his writings makes Him a tough read, not to mention the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, but there are so many nuggets of wisdom and treasures to be cherished by those who are willing to dig. If the Lord spares my life I will do what I can to read all seven volumes of this entire commentary on the Epistle of Hebrews.

This book an amazing work of Reformed Christianity. Owen's 'exercitations' on the Sabbath (contained in this volume) display the most thoughtful argument about the nature of the Sabbath, and its change from the last day of the week to the first, that I have ever read. Along the way, he also gives us some gems about the proper interpretation of the 10 Commandments in relation to the ceremonial and civil law of Old Testament Israel.
