The Holy Spirit (John Owen) (#25)

$8.75$10.00

Considered among the greatest of all Christian books ever penned, Owen on the Holy Spirit deals with the name, nature, personality, and operations of the Holy Spirit. Owen effectively shows the true holiness of life which the Spirit of God imparts as quite superior to merely human morality and will.

In it, Owen deals with the name, nature, personality, and operations of the Holy Spirit, and urges the necessity of gospel holiness as distinct from mere morality operating under human will and power. As is always the case with Owen, the writing is both doctrinal and pastoral in character. The exhaustive length of the original book has deterred many in our day from reading it, so we hope that this abridged modern English version will make Owen’s teaching more accessible to today’s readers.

The Holy Spirit

Considered among the greatest of all Christian books ever penned, Owen on the Holy Spirit deals with the name, nature, personality, and operations of the Holy Spirit. Owen effectively shows the true holiness of life which the Spirit of God imparts as quite superior to merely human morality and will.

Note: this is an abridged version of Owen’s massive work, Pneumatologia: A Discourse Concerning the Holy Spirit, published first in 1674 and available in a 650 page cloth edition: Volume 3 of The Complete Works of Owen.

In it, Owen deals with the name, nature, personality, and operations of the Holy Spirit, and urges the necessity of gospel holiness as distinct from mere morality operating under human will and power.
