365 daily readings from one of the greatest theologians of the Puritan movement
John Owen (1616–1683) was one of the best known and most prolific English church leaders of the 17th Century. His writings have been a challenge and encouragement to believers throughout the centuries since and have influenced many leaders in the church today. In this attractively bound faux leather book, Lee Gatiss has selected a reading from John Owen’s writings for each day of the year. Theologically sharp, these readings will help you to see the majesty of God anew
Includes some extracts from Owen that are not currently in print anywhere else, and freshly translations of his Latin works.
Each reading is just a page long but is packed with theological insight. Spending a little time with this giant of the faith every day will help you to delight in the joy of the gospel again.
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)
This is an excellent resource for family worship. Each month introduces a specific publication from John Owen and provides historical context. Each day gives a Scripture reference with Owen's exposition. Very deep and theological, but also Christ-centered and pastoral. The short size of these daily devotions makes it easier to digest and contemplate on the glorious truths and doctrines of Scripture.
