Gospel Grounds and Evidences of the Faith of God's Elect

Name: Gospel Grounds and Evidences of the Faith of God's Elect
Author: 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.
