Produktbeschreibung

"Owen offers not quick relief, but long-term, deep growth in grace that can make strong, healthy trees from fragile saplings." - John Piper. "We cannot properly estimate the blessing of soaking our minds in the Bible-saturated thinking of the likes of John Owen. What he was able to see in the Bible and preserve for us in writing is simply magnificent." - John Piper. Communion with God, or in full, Communion with God: Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Each Person Distinctly, in Love, Grace, and Consolation; or, the Saints' Fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Unfolded is John Owen's finest devotional treatise. Owen, and the Puritans more generally, regarded communion with God as central to the Christian life. John Owen explicitly addressed this work to the "Christian reader," and so it is very accessible. Much of it is contained in his sermons to his congregation and to students at Oxford University. It is a profound biblical exposition rather than theology. In this scripture infused work, Owen carefully explicates the believer's individual communion with each of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and presents this as the basis of the Christian life. This edition is unabridged. John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan, theologian, and minister. He was Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, vice-chancellor of Oxford University, and chaplain and friend to Oliver Cromwell. He is remembered as a prolific writer, a theologian's theologian, and the author of several beloved devotional works, particularly Communion with God.

Autorenporträt

John Owen had a significant impact that went well beyond his scholarly accomplishments. His administrative skills matched his theological knowledge as vice-chancellor of Oxford University, establishing a lasting impression on the school. His role as chaplain and advisor to Oliver Cromwell demonstrated his familiarity with the complex political and ecclesiastical landscape of the day. Owen is well known for his thorough and lengthy writings, and his theological impact is still unmatched. His writings include a broad range of topics, from practical theology to dogma, and they demonstrate a thorough comprehension of theological ideas and how they are applied in real-world situations. Regarded as the "theologian's theologian," Owen was respected for his ability to clearly explain difficult theological concepts in addition to his superior intelligence. John Owen's lasting influence is demonstrated by the fact that his writings are still studied and valued in modern theological circles. His works, which are distinguished by a deep theological understanding and a dedication to rigorous scholarship, cemented his standing as a notable figure in the complex fabric of seventeenth-century Puritan thinking.
