Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

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

John Owen's treatise on communion with the triune God, first published in 1657 and often counted among his finest devotional works. Owen shows how believers hold distinct fellowship with the Father in His love, with the Son in His grace, and with the Holy Spirit in His comfort. Deep yet warm, it rewards patient, unhurried reading.
