Focusing on the often-overlooked teachings of John Owen regarding the Lord's Supper, this work highlights his twenty-five sacramental discourses, which aim to comfort believers rather than merely define doctrine. Jon D. Payne contextualizes Owen's life and the evolution of Reformed thought on the Supper, influenced by figures like Calvin and Vermigli. The discourses emphasize fostering delight in Christ and gratitude among participants, making Owen's insights both accessible and spiritually enriching for even the weakest believers.
