Crossway Introduces the Collected Works of John Owen, Updated for Modern Readers

Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, and ecclesiology. His classic works-which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper-remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection.

The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume series that brings together all of Owen's original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 20 includes sermons that he delivered in the wake of a particularly tumultuous period in London that had witnessed plague and the Great Fire. Amid war and concerted attempts to suppress religious dissent, Owen proclaimed the power of the gospel, urging his community to take refuge in the Lord and live faithful lives of godliness. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.

• Edited and Formatted for Modern Readers: Presents Owen's original writing, newly typeset with insightful introductions, outlines, text breaks, headings, and footnotes
• Part of The Complete Works of John Owen: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over the next 6 years
• Perfect for Churches and Schools: Written for students, pastors, theologians, and those interested in the work of John Owen
