The Reason This Site Exists
This site exists for the glory of God through the exaltation of Jesus Christ; and for the edification of His bride, the Church.
The Means This Site Will Use
John Owen was arguably the most brilliant theologian of the English language. While he was extraordinarily brilliant, his writings were not always extraordinarily accessible. It is the intention of this site and its author (or rather editor) to glean from the good doctor, quotes and excerpts that show the Christ centered world view of this gifted Puritan divine.
I will be posting quotes by Owen here every week Monday through Saturday.
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your stay!
[...] Brandon Phillips sums up the purpose of his site: [...]
am involved in collegiate ministry especially discipleship and in the course of time, a growing affinity for theology has been fostered. I would like to be a theologian for the goal of helping students become doctrinal and missional. Thank you for this website that links us with great theologians of the past. The opportunity to glean from them is a God given privilege for me.
Edwin,
Thank you for stopping by and saying hello. I enjoyed reading your comment. It is that very reason that I decided to blog through Owen’s writings. I wanted to, at the very least, introduce people to his writings who may have never even considered reading him. His language is rich and his message is always timely and thought provoking.
Just came across your site. Utterly wonderful. Owen’s been my favourite theologian for years now. Can’t thank you enough.
Ian, thank you for the kind words, and you’re welcome! I know how you feel about Owen. He really is brilliant.
Oh I am excited! Just came across your site from a link on a blog I just happened to be checking out. All this good content from Owens available online here. What a treat. Thanks for your work and providing a great resource. God bless!
Love the site
I was introduced to John Owen (his works, that is) a couple years ago, and my life changed at the very moment I began reading him. My Pastor gave me Volume 6: On Temptation and Sin, and I am convinced that Owen was the modern-day great psychologist of his time. His insights into the human psyche, while never losing sight of man’s total depravity, blow away any of the pathetic conclusions of secular psychology’s last century-and-a-half of godless meandering and research.
You are doing a great ministry for the body of Christ. Keep up the good work!
Volume 6: On Temptation and Sin,
since this seem like such a luminal work, would it be accessible on-line ?
