Owen on the Christian Life: Living for the Glory of God in Christ

Matthew Barrett

John Owen is widely regarded as one of the most influential English Puritans. As a pastor, he longed to see the glory of Christ take root in people's lives. As a writer, he continues to encourage us toward discipline and communion with God. His high view of God and deep theological convictions flowed naturally into practical application and a zeal for personal holiness.

In Owen on the Christian Life, Barrett and Haykin guide us through the seventeenth-century theologian's life and doctrine, giving us a glimpse into the majestic vision that served as the foundation for his approach to the Christian life--the glory of God in Christ.

Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.
