The Glory of Christ
Ratings1
Average rating5
In The Glory of Christ, here abridged and made easy to read, we have the great Puritan pastor and theologian John Owen at his richest and most mature. Here he writes about Jesus Christ, the heart of the gospel. Owen himself tells us that the substance of the work began in his own private meditation and study and only later was shared with his congregation. Here, then, is a master theologian writing about the things, or better, the person, nearest to his heart.

A treasure trove of continuous exaltation of Christ. This short book by the great Puritan mind, John Owen, will prove soul-nourishing to every true believer. Prepare to be confronted with ... the Glory of Christ. Too often a topic sub-consciously labeled as ‘boring' and ‘basic'. We shall never move on from Christ's glory. Even upon our millionth day of worshipping him we won't have touched the surface of his ultimate glory.

“Christ is a sanctuary, a sure refuge to all that put their trust in him. And what would a troubled man fleeing to a safe place be looking for? He would look for all his needs to be met, to be delivered from all his fears, to be protected from all dangers. Such is the Lord Christ to all sin-distressed souls” (p.47)
