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)
As with previous volumes, I am quite pleased to know that not only is John Owen an amazing theologian but he also has a pastor's heart and is able to write and encourage the everyday Christian just as capably as challenging the greatest of scholars. This volume covers the nature of apostasy, spiritual mindedness, and the dominion of sin and grace. Plenty to chew on here! Biblical sound and convicting. Can't wait to get started on Volume 8! Highly recommend.
