The mystery of divine grace in the Person of Christ
Amongst the best known of the Puritans, John Owen (1616-1683) was a profound and thought provoking pastor-theologian. His writings continue to be widely read and greatly appreciated to this day.
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 Christian
Focus edition, makes the argument more transparent through the
introduction of headings-all the while preserving Owen's rewarding
content without abridgement-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)*
The Apostle Paul told Timothy to "rightly divide" the word of truth
(2 Timothy 2:15). He meant more than simply cutting it into
paragraphs and chapters of course, though that can be a useful aid
to understanding. John Owen's magnificent book on the person of
Jesus Christ rightly handles the word about Truth Himself, in the
midst of much confusion and controversy. And this edition presents
that teaching in a helpfully divided up format - with chapter
headings and simplified structures - that make it even more of a
joy to read. This is not a superficial book, and superficial
Christians will not read it. But those that do can expect meaty
theology and practical piety of an exhilarating and challenging
kind.

Church History, Union School of Theology, Bridgend, Wales)*
Provides us with an extended exposition of the wonder of
forgiveness.
