La vie par sa mort

by John Owen

La vie par sa mort (The Death of Death in the Death of Christ) a ete publie en 1647. Il semble que personne n'ait reussi a refuter la these soutenue par Owen, qu'il defend brillamment en s'apputant sur les Ecriture. Il y a certains indices de nos jours montrant un resurgence de l'interet pour la theologie de la Bible: un nouvel empressement a l'epreuve les traditions, a scruter les Ecritures... C'est a ceux qui partagent cet empressement que ce traite d'Owen est offert, avec la conviction qu'il nous aidera dans l'une des taches les plus urgentes qui incombent au monde chretien evangelique aujourd'hui - le recouvrement de l'Evangile.

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

[Jeremiah Whiteman · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great abridged version of Owen’s book “The Death of Death in the Death of Christ.” Accessible, clear, and simple in its presentation. Owen does a great job in this book pointing out that God accomplishes exactly what He intends to. Nothing can thwart Him. And the believer has much confidence and assurance in the death of Christ for that death infers that Christ is interceding for us in heaven now, and He will not fail in His intercession.

My first book by John Owen. Straight to the point. The importance of the substitutionary atonement and death of Christ.

[Josh Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Straight to the point, a little repetitive, but overall enjoyed reading it. An easy to read book on limited atonement.

[Nick Prodromou · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great!

This gets me excited to read the original work, but as this is just a summary of Owen's arguments in the death of death, it does a fine job getting those across, and there are a lot.

[Lindsay John Kennedy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Helpful on understanding a very high-Calvinistic view of the atonement. While many arguments are intriguing, the heavy reliance upon logic over a engagement with Biblical text turned me off.

Dans ce traité John Owen défend avec passion sa thèse. Souvent très pertinent, soulevant de véritables interrogations, parfois emporté par son zèle se contentant de répéter une phrase massue.
