John Owen

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ is a polemical work, designed to show, among other things, that the doctrine of universal redemption is unscriptural and destructive to the gospel. Those who see no need for doctrinal exactness and have no time for theological debates which show up divisions between evangelicals may well regret its reappearance. Some may find the very sound of Owen's thesis so shocking that they will refuse to read his book...

Here we have presented the remarkable life-story of Emma, Lady Hamilton-a story which transcends the bounds of romance and fascinates and baffles the reader by turns.

Written to answer Redemption Redeemed by the Arminian, John Goodwin, this treatise contains a minute refutation of Goodwin's views, but nevertheless would, in the words of Andrew Thompson "be almost as complete were every part of it that refers Goodwin expunged, and undeniably forms the most masterly vindication of the perseverance of the saints in the English tongue."

In his "Discourse of Ecclesiastical Polity" Samuel Parker decried religious toleration as unfriendly to social order, and attempted to blacken the character of the Nonconformists. Owen was, chosen to reply to Parker, which he did in one of the noblest controversial treatises that were ever, penned by him. The mind of Owen seems to have been, whetted by his deep sense of wrong, and he writes with a remarkable clearness and force of argument; while...

Packer, and John Piper-remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection. The...

"Llamar hombres (y mujeres) a que abandonen la condición malvada de su corazón y mente, exponer el pecado y peligro de ella, dirigirlos a los métodos y medios adecuados para abandonarla, abastecer sus pensamientos y afectos con objetos mejores, y descubrir y alentar el ejercicio dichos medios (lo que es indispensable para todos los creyentes si anhelan la vida y la paz) es parte de lo que hace el siguiente volumen". ¡Así sea!

"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matt. 26:41). These words, which Jesus spoke to his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane, serve as the foundation for John Owen's treatise Of Temptation. Owen preached on the subject of temptation frequently during his many years of service as the dean and vice chancellor of Christ Church in Oxford-Of Temptation is the culmination of his discourses...
