'... a thorough enquiry into its subject's theology, and an often polemical argument favouring its subject's Reformed Catholicity over the short-sighted spirituality of contemporary Evangelicals.' Church Times 'Thanks to Carl Trueman's handy summary, the labyrinth of Owen's thought has been straightened and made more maneuverable for students venturing into the intricacies of his theological universe.' Greenbaggins.wordpress.com '... will profit enthusiastic undergraduates and advanced scholars alike.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'As an introduction to Owen's life and thought as well as his place within the wider corpus of Reformed and Reformation thinking, this book is unlikely to be surpassed: it is well researched, it is well written and it is well worth reading.' The United Reformed Church History Society Journal 'I recommend this book very highly.

Trueman provides penetrating analysis of Owen and other relevant primary sources, historical, theological, philosophical, and cultural awareness, and further debunking of the Calvin v. the Calvinists myth. JO, therefore, stands as a much-needed corrective to the historical revisionism that has taken place concerning seventeenth-century Reformed theology.' Reformed Baptist Fellowship 'The book gives the reader a good overview of Owen's theology and polemical works, and it explains well the context in which Owen wrote.'
