John Owen Books

Focusing on spiritual growth and moral integrity, this volume presents four treatises by John Owen that delve into the themes of sin and grace. It explores the mortification of sin, the nature of temptation, the struggle with indwelling sin, and the transformative power of God's grace. Each treatise is carefully edited and formatted, making Owen's profound insights accessible for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian theology and personal piety.

Owen on the Holy Spirit, as this work has been known to generations of Christians, was written by the greatest theologian of the Puritan era. It is, without question, one of the truly great Christian books.

'This battle will last more or less all our days.' In this abridgement of a classic work, The Mortification of Sin, the famous Puritan John Owen shows the need for Christians to engage in a life-long battle against the sinful tendencies that remain in them, despite their having been brought to faith and new life in Christ. Owen is very insistent that believers cannot hope to succeed in this battle in their own strength. He sees clearly that the fight can be won only through faith in Christ, and in the power of the Spirit. Fighting sin with human strength will produce only self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. But with faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain. The temptations in times like Owen's and ours are obvious on every side; the remedy to them is clearly pointed out in this practical and helpful book.

How democracies compete with autocracies to bias international order in their favor-and why democracies are losing

The Encyclopedia of Reptiles, Amphibians & Invertebrates by Dr. Noel Tait (2006) Hardcover

How do Christians come to the certainty that the Bible is the Word of God, and gain an understanding of His mind and will from it? How do they acquire the ability to pray, and lead others in prayer? how are they comforted and supported in all the difficulties they meet? And how can the church be led, taught and guided aright, when Christ is not here on earth? According to the great Puritan leader John Owen, the answer to all these questions is the same: by the gracious and powerful work of the Holy Spirit. He it is who convinces, assures, teaches, comforts and equips the church and all its members for all the work they are called to do. In an age when many think Christianity is nothing more than human effort, based on fallible human conclusions, Owen calls the church back to divine certainty and divine resources. The style in which the Puritans wrote can present difficulties for modern readers, but this updated abridgement of by Dr. R.J.K.

Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der man es nicht mehr wagt, über Sünde zu reden, da man das Selbstwertgefühl der Menschen nicht verletzen möchte. Manche Christen suchen nach Befreiung; andere dagegen sehen es nicht ein, dass ihre eigene Sünde der Grund ihrer persönlichen Not sein könnte. John Owen zeigt in seinem Buch sehr klar und vor allem biblisch fundiert die Ursachen unseres Versagens in Versuchungen, aber auch wie ein Christ über die Sünde siegen kann. Er macht deutlich, dass der Christ allein durch Gottes Gnade von der Macht der Sünde befreit wird. Diese Befreiung ist die Grundlage dafür, dass der Gläubige ein siegreiches Leben zur Ehre Gottes führen kann. »Richte deinen Glauben auf Jesus Christus, wie Er im Evangelium beschrieben wird. Schau auf Ihn, wie Er betet, blutet und unter der Last deiner Sünde stirbt. Lass diesen gekreuzigten Erretter durch den Glauben in deinem Herzen wohnen.« – John Owen

Das Buch basiert auf dem biblischen Text aus Hebräer 6,4-6 und behandelt die theologischen und seelsorgerlichen Implikationen dieses Abschnitts. Viele glauben, dass er sich auf wahre Gläubige bezieht, was zu der Lehre führt, dass solche Gläubigen abfallen und verloren gehen können. Leser, die nach dem Glauben in Sünde fallen oder ihre Pflichten vernachlässigen, fühlen sich oft entmutigt und fürchten, unwiederbringlich verloren zu sein. John Owen argumentiert jedoch, dass diese Verse nicht zur Entmutigung führen sollen, sondern eine ernsthafte Warnung an sorglose Gläubige darstellen. Er legt die Verse sorgfältig aus und beleuchtet, was über jene gesagt wird, die sich vom Evangelium abkehren. Owen analysiert die Gründe und Motive, die zu einer Abkehr führen, und deckt die damit verbundenen Sünden auf. Sechs Warnungen werden an den Leser gerichtet, um die Gefahr der Abkehr vom Evangelium zu verdeutlichen. Das Buch schließt mit praktischen Ratschlägen, wie man sich vor dieser Abkehr schützen kann.

Ve světě kolem nás je mnoho věcí, které bojují o místo v naší mysli, avšak všechny tyto věci vedou pouze ke smrti. Život a pokoj doprovázejí takového člověka, jehož mysl se soustředí na Boží věci. John Owen (1616-1683) je znám jako jeden z největších anglických teologů. Owen do své činnosti zapojuje jak svou mysl, při psaní teologických prací (svědčí o tom 24 hustě popsaných svazků), tak i své srdce, jako pastýř různých stád - sborů, studentů v Oxfordu, či lidí z vládnoucích vrstev. Díky propojení těchto vlastností vidíme Owena jako pastora-teologa srdce i mysli.

Snáď nikto nedokázal písať na tému boja s hriechom hlbšie, pravdivejšie a biblickejšie ako anglickí puritáni 17. storočia. Kniha „Umŕtvovanie hriechu" od významného kongregacionalistu Johna Owena predstavuje v tomto smere klenot. Toto slovenské vydanie má dve hlavné časti. Prvá časť sa nazýva „Pokušenie – praktická príručka, ako rozpoznať, že sa blíži, a nepodľahnúť jeho moci a zámerom,“ druhá zase, „Umŕtvovanie hriechu“.
