John Owen: Prince of Puritans (Andrew Thomson)
$9.50He’s been called the “Prince of the Puritans.” His works fill vast volumes. 300 years after his death, his books are still in print and eagerly devoured by readers, and J.I. Packer has said, “I owe more to John Owen than to any other theologian — ancient or modern.” But who was John Owen? In this fascinating biography, Andrew Thompson chronicles the life of this foremost of Puritans and introduces the man behind the theology.
John Owen (1616-1683) was one of the defining theologians of the Puritan era. His books have been continually in print since then. This biography has often been published as part of Owen’s works. A pastor first, Owen was ejected from his position by the English government, after which he devoted himself to developing other men for the ministry, writing commentaries, theological studies and defending the nonconformists from state persecution.
