Description: |
John Owen insisted on the
importance of the Christian dealing effectively with their sinful
tendencies and attitudes. He believed that God, through his Word and
Spirit, had provided the guidelines and the power for this to be achieved.
In this book, John Owen effectively dismisses various excuses for not
engaging in selfscrutiny and yet avoids the current trend of
selfabsorption. In so doing he provides principles to help believers live
lives of holiness
About the Author:
John Owen - (1616-1683), Congregational theologian
Born at Stadhampton, Oxfordshire, Owen was educated at Queen's College,
Oxford, where he studied classics and theology and was ordained. Because
of the "high-church" innovations introduced by Archbishop William Laud, he
left the university to be a chaplain to the family of a noble lord. His
first parish was at Fordham in Essex, to which he went while the nation
was involved in civil war. Here he became convinced that the
Congregational way was the scriptural form of church government.
