“I don’t always read the same book five times, but when I do, it is this one by John Owen. If there is a richer book on Christology in the English language, I am not aware of it.”

— Mark Jones, Minister, Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church (PCA), Vancouver, Canada

“John Owen’s The Person of Christ is the richest book on Christology I have ever read and one to which I return on a regular basis. Systematic in scope and doxological in aim, Owen’s treatise is impossible to read without having one’s mind enlarged and one’s heart enamored by the glory of Jesus Christ. The new edition makes the argument more transparent through the introduction of headings-all the while preserving Owen’s rewarding content without abridgement. It will be a great benefit to contemporary readers. Take up and read, and relish in the glory of Christ!”

— Scott R. Swain, Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida
