Inhaltsangabe

The Puritan John Owen is best remembered today for his theological writings on high Calvinism, traditional orthodoxy, church polity, and the pursuit of holiness. According to Kelly M. Kapic, Owen is being rediscovered by a variety of people today, including theologians, evangelical ministers, and laypeople interested in classic forms of spirituality. With this diverse audience in mind, Kapic focuses on the concept of communion with God in Owens thought, covering key areas such as anthropology, Christology, trinitarian studies, and the Lord's Supper.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Kelly M. Kapic's book focuses on the concept of communion with God in the work of Puritan theologian John Owen, covering key areas such as anthropology, the incarnation, the Trinity, and the Lord's supper. In this lively study Owen emerges as a rich dialogue partner not just for historians but for those engaged in contemporary theology and pastoral practice.

"John Owen was one of the giants of Puritanism, his massive erudition displayed on every page of the many volumes that flowed from his pen. We now have no better guide to Owen's thought than Kapic's study. A most welcomed resource as it probes significant aspects of Owen's thought for contemporary theology and Christian life."
--Donald K. McKim, editor, Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith

"This well-rounded research will be of interest to anyone concerned with the development of Reformed theology from a historical or systematic perspective. Kapic has produced a meticulous piece of scholarship that brings a sophisticated and nuanced approach to the exploration of crucial themes in Owen's theology."
--Susan Hardman Moore, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh (emeritus)

"This book, which draws from an impressive array of sources, is a marvelously rich, full, and systematic treatment of Owen's focus on communion with God. It will enhance our understanding and appreciation of Owen and, most importantly, of personal communion with the Triune God."
--Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

"Kapic sets up habitation in Owen's oeuvre, opening doors here and there to neglected tomes, always confident that the further we explore this Puritan establishment, the more capacious we will find it."
--Craig E. Mattson, Calvin Theological Journal

"Kapic successfully brings together a number of key themes from Owen's wide-ranging theological corpus in a coherent and satisfying framework of thought. . . . Kapic has ably presented in his book a theologian of the very highest order, whose spiritual fervor and pastoral concern is the engine that drives his magisterial theological writing."
--Alan Spence, Journal of Reformed Theology
