Endorsements:
“The appearance of these forty volumes deserves to be heralded as one of the major Christian publishing events of our time. It surely indicates that Owen, whose writings were little known until resurrected in the 1960s, is here to stay among the ranks of the greatest theologians ever to work on English soil. This new edition has been carefully and informatively edited by a team of scholars who not only stand on the shoulders of past editors but take their earlier labors a step further. Their work and the layout of these volumes will help readers more easily appreciate Owen’s towering intellect and grasp the power of his theological reasoning, pastoral insight, and spiritual wisdom. This edition will bring fresh delight to those who are already familiar with him. At the same time, less experienced readers, on their first ascent of Mount Owen, will be helped to enjoy new views: of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; of the gospel, the church, and themselves; and of the life of grace and faith. Here the theological air is indeed bracing, and the climb can be challenging to both the mind and the spirit, but with these volumes in hand, the experience should prove unforgettable.”
Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries
“If Christians today were to read John Owen, their many theological and spiritual infirmities could be healed overnight. The reasons are legion. Owen was committed to retrieving the orthodoxy of the catholic (universal) church to address heretical threats in his own day. He was also committed to the Reformed expression of that catholic faith to counter challenges to the gratuity of God’s grace in his own lifetime. Yet his task was not merely polemical but also pastoral. His mind reached into the highest recesses of the knowledge of God, but he always did so for the sake of the church, as a shepherd eager to lead his sheep into communion with the living God. The Complete Works of John Owen is a gift we cannot repay. These works not only introduce us to a theological ocean but also resurrect the theologian himself as he summons us to contemplate our most holy Trinity. May these works inspire the next generation to embody Owen’s Reformed catholic fidelity with the same devotion as the Puritan himself.”

Communion with God (John Owen) (#19)
$8.00John Owen believed that communion with God lies at the heart of the Christian life. With Paul he recognized that through the Son we have access by the Spirit to the Father. He never lost the sense of amazement expressed by John: ‘Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ’. In this outstanding book he explains the nature of this communion and describes the many privileges it brings.
Communion with God was written in a day, like our own, when the doctrine of the Trinity was under attack and the Christian faith was being reduced either to rationalism on the one hand or mysticism on the other. His exposition shows that nothing is more vital to spiritual well-being than a practical knowledge of what this doctrine means.
Until now, Communion With God has been read by only small numbers of Christians with access to the 275 closely-printed pages in The Works of John Owen. Now Dr. R. J. K. Law has produced a splendidly readable abridgement of one of the greatest Christian classics of all time, bringing Owen’s rich teaching to a much wider readership.

Apostasy from the Gospel (John Owen) (#21)
$8.00The subject of apostasy – that is, the study of what leads one who has professed faith in Christ to change his mind and return to living for the world of sin, is not on most people’s list of pleasant subjects to meditate upon.
The idea that one who confesses Christ may in time prove not to be a true Christian is too gloomy a prospect for many in our “positive-thinking” age. But it is a Biblical truth that requires some consideration, if only for the sake of watching guard over our own souls. Owen’s work, as usual, is a masterpiece of penetrating discernment to the very roots of the matter.
Now, in this updated English abridgement of John Owen’s Apostasy From the Gospel, Dr. R. J. K. Law makes its powerful teaching readily accessible to modern readers. Some will find its pages deeply soul-searching; others will be struck with the clarity of Owen’s insight; all will find a work which wounds in order to heal.

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.
