Biblical Theology

Lovers of theology, and particularly of the Puritans, will welcome this English translation of John Owen's Latin writings. The major portion of this volume is a history of theology from Adam to Christ. Owen characterizes evangelical theology as a gift of the Holy Spirit generating faith in Christ, holiness through Christ, and worship of Christ.

Appendixed to this important work is Owen's Defense of Scripture against Modern Fanatacism, which is a defense of the authority and proper interpretation of the Bible against the subjectivism of his day.

"Published in Latin in 1661 as a contribution to international Reformed scholarship, this treatise draws on a very wide range of learning. The final part, in particular, where Owen characterizes evangelical theology as a gift of the Holy Spirit generating faith in Christ, holiness through Christ, and worship of Christ, is pure gold. To have it now - at last! - in English is a great boon. Those with a taste for Owen, or for theology, or (best of all) for both, will read this Puritan proto-Biblical Theology with joy."
