Good introduction to John Owen if you want to familiarize yourself with the life of this famous theologian. I have read Owen before but did not know much about his life, and this book helped to fill that hole.

I am reviewing a copy of An Introduction to John Owen through Crossway and Netgalley:



John Owen (1616–1683) was the most formidable of the English Protestant Theologians. Owen was born sometime in 1616 to a family living in the tiny village of Stadhampton, in Oxfordshire.


An Introduction to John Owen, highlights the Christian life he wanted his readers to have.



John Owen was one of England’s Earliest authors of Children’s books. He believed that Children needed to be educated in the Faith.




In this book Crawford Gibben approaches John Owen’s core intellectual ideas.





This book is well written, and researched, a great introduction to one of the greatest theologians of all time.




I give An Introduction to John Owen five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!

One of my favorite theologians is John Owen. I have loved his writings over the years and his commitment to God-centered theology. Some of his writings have been challenging while others have been straight to the point.

There have been many books written by Owen and they are worth considering. Crawford Gribben gives us a glimpse into Owen's life in his brief biography about him in An Introduction to John Owen.

This book is not an exhaustive biography, but it is gives a simple introduction to a man who will still influence many for the Kingdom of God. This book contains information about his childhood, his upbringing, and his ministry up to the day he departed this world to meet Jesus face-to-face.

If you are familiar with John Owen or may have heard his name but never really knew much about him, this is the book for you.
