Beschreibung

Sin and Temptation helps us recover the concepts of sin and individual responsibility our world has all but destroyed. John Owen, an English theologian of vast learning, has dealt with the nature of sinful humanity as no writer has done as keenly or thoroughly, arguing that sin is always a self-deceiving, blinding folly. Owen embodied the best of Puritan devotion: the awe of God, humility, wisdom, and an awareness of God's grace. J.I. Packer's introductory essay describes how Owen's writings shaped his own spiritual formation. Dr. James Houston, editor of the Classics of Faith and Devotion series, is a highly acclaimed scholar and pioneer int he field of evangelical spirituality. He came to North America from England in 1968 to lead Regent College in Vancouver, Canada, a worldwide center of spiritual formation.

Autor

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.
