Dissertation on Divine Justice

by John Owen

John Owen (1616–1683) was the foremost Puritan theologian of seventeenth-century England. A child prodigy at Oxford, he became dean of Christ Church and vice-chancellor of the university under Cromwell, while preaching and writing works of great depth. The Mortification of Sin, Communion with God, and his massive exposition of Hebrews — many of them in our library — still define Puritan divinity at its most searching and exact.

About this book

A theological treatise by the Puritan John Owen, translated from his Latin work of 1653. Owen defends the justice of God in punishing sin, arguing against the Socinian claim that God could forgive sin without satisfaction. He shows why the death of Christ was necessary, and grounds the comfort of the gospel in God's righteousness as well as His mercy.
